    Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not, but this morning I stumbled upon an interesting article about a pianist Davide Martello. He is not an ordinary pianist playing just in one place. His piano is moving with him in a very peculiar way - by a bicycle!

    Wow! I thought it would be a perfect match for the story for this week's topic we got from @palimanali in the Hive Open Mic community. To be honest, I didn't know I would make my entry. I was away this week on a mini-vacation (no, I didn't go by bicycle) so I didn't even think what would be the composition I could play. But this pianist that moves around with his piano, all on wheels and pedals, brought me the inspiration. Thank you, Davide!

    The big piano we see is not a real piano, it would be impossible to pedal it around. This is just the shell of a baby grand piano and what indeed sounds is a stage piano that works with batteries. Also, he can not bike his piano for too long distances, it is just usually in the cities. New York, Budapest, San Francisco, and Frankfurt were among the places people could enjoy his piano playing on wheels.

    I imagined how would be the lifestyle moving always around and having no fixed place of living. And the vehicle I move around (and play the piano at the same time) would be a bicycle? I am not sure would my career as a cycling pianist last for a long time, but we can always daydream a bit.

    Hence, a daydream is coming from me in this video. The piece composed by Claude Debussy, Reverie (daydream) will represent it.

    I am here.

    My piano is here.

    My bicycle?

    Well, it is in the storage room, but I used it this morning to go to the grocery. Usually, I like cycling, but today it was windy. And the rain started when I came out of the shop, so it was riding in the rain. Not a perfect feeling but the cycling pianist came as a perfect match for my post.
