Interact!
Performance is a two-way street - only with a performer and an audience does music come alive. andersonpiano.com is interactive too. Have a good time, and most importantly, be honest!

Would you rather listen to piano music in a nightclub, in a car, or in Carnegie Hall?? Would you rather listen to the music of J.S. Bach or his son J.C. Bach? The polling booth awaits your opinion. Unlike government elections, these polls don't require a researched opinion. Vote for whatever sounds nice to you at the moment, and see what others had to say.
