Review of Sounds of Democracy

This piece explores the piano, through a group of people who use the public piano at a library in Maine. Music acts almost like another voice in the piece. On some level, the people didn't even need to introduce themselves, and instead this could have been an anonymous group of people, each telling a little truth about piano music. Ultimately, I didn't learn so much about the individuals, but rather, I was left with a heightened sense of the piano.
