Recordist's notes
In the central station there is a piano, that anyone is allowed to play. Sometimes you can hear virtuosos there, but this time the piano was used to give lessons. Two women, a piano teacher and a piano student, did not mind to practice simple tonal sequences in public. Binaural recording.
