tuner's top 10

[Tom Cole]

Terry,

A piece with sustained tones covering a broad range of the piano, not
too loud. Debussy's "Reverie" is a good example. One of the Chopin
Mazurkas might do. 
Schumann wrote a number of short pieces. What were the "Five Easy
Pieces" that were in the movie?

Since you're not playing a concert, just checking out and demonstrating
the tuning, you might cut it short at the first or second cadence. About
the only time I'll play the whole piece is if it's a really nice piano,
or if, on rare occasion, it appears that the owner has come in to listen
to their piano. If it's a dog, I'll play a few chords and call it a tuning.
