Almost everyone has a favourite instrument they like to play or listen to. Alicia's favourite instrument is piano. What does it mean?

PIANO
Alicia's got interesting personality but with a small dose of artificiality. Alicia thinks that she knows a lot, but it's not true very often. Her moods are very changeable. She doesn't forgive lies or betrayals in love.

Alicia has a beautiful Steinway & Sons and she love it:
"They have a couple of tricks. They turn it over on it's side and take off it's legs. It's been moved to a couple of strange places. They've had to ask me, 'How many stairs', but it always gets there. It makes me nervous though, I hate to move it, I feel like they're just gonna bang it all up".

More Alicia's quotes:
"The piano is kind of a lonely instrument. When I go home from being out, I love to come home and just play. Songs I've already written or just sit down and write what I saw, felt, or thought about that day without melody, words, or structure--just feeling. I love to snatch my moments of being alone. Feeling whatever with no noises".

"I've loved the piano ever since I was young and I begged to learn it".

"I would want to quit (piano lessons) because money was in short supply, but my mom would tell me, 'Quit what you like, but you're not quitting piano.' She didn't care what it cost."

"There were plenty of times I woke up at the piano".

Other artists quotes:
Billy Joel - "I have long admired Steinway pianos for their qualities of tone, clarity, pitch consistency, touch responsiveness, and superior craftsmanship".

Marcus Roberts - "I choose the Steinway piano because of its rich depth of tone, gigantic range of timbres, and the unique individuality of each instrument."

Diana Krall - "It is a privilege and an honor to perform on Steinway pianos."
