Cloned out small bits of winding knob since they made it look like the pendulum was held in place - it is swinging
Save for web

Nothing major here - printed music, set up books and placed metronome. I had an ashtray and a small cup of coffee in the shot originally, but they made it look too cluttered. I like this version better.

The books behind it are duct taped together so they stand somewhat straight. Very old and warped - been sitting in the basement since I moved here - 7 years or so.

Oh wow, talk about memories. My piano teacher was Mrs. Payne - really! Wonderful picture. Good composition. The lighting really adds to the 'memory' feel of the picture.

You've set the metronome to a slower tempo than the Grieg is typically played. Also, I can't really see the relevance of the encyclopedias to the meaning of the shot.
