Cellists and/or Baritones get my loving attention.. Pianists not so much.. I am very very possessive of my piano.. Baritones, really? But they're such divas (as are most singers haha).  my better half sings as well as i play the piano, we never tried to change positions in that respect...

There are strict, standing orders not to touch the piano, the lamp, the music, the bench, or anything else. And I mean it.
So you have a cat?

Every singer I've worked with has been -in a sense- a diva. I've only worked with a few 'cellists, but didn't feel they were divas. One of them, a very beautiful lass about your age, Angelina, was as beautiful to look at as was her playing. We did the Beethoven Op 69 a few years ago. I loved every moment of it.

The thing is, (very good) singers just have it.. After a while, they barely practice. They get perennially "coached" and they drink a lot of water.. So when they act pompously, it is a bit more fitting than the ever toiling pianists..

I dated my piano teacher a few years back . Free lessons didn't work out as well as you'd think - the relationship is too informal. Yes, I've noticed that playing the cello seems to er "impress" some people. But I prefer to play the piano! The OP made me laugh as well, hehe.

"So you have a cat? wink"
No, five dogs, Jason. They have a favored den under the piano. Sometimes I get under there, and I can see why they like it--- great cover, you can see everything that goes on, and it's just the right size. Very cool-looking ceiling, too.

I prefer that my lover leave my piano the heck alone.

I've never had a girlfriend that played an instrument, or even listened to classical music for that matter.

My husband plays the guitar very occasionally and every time he sits down to play, I feel jealous and have a strong desire to go sit at my piano. I don't think I could live with someone who also played the piano. Except my kids because I'm their teacher.

The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes - ah, that is where the art resides! - Schnabel
