What if it was the 19th century, and there were no radios or muzak or recordings of any kind. So music wasn’t a constant presence in your life, and you weren’t used to being manipulated by sounds for marketing or ratings or whatever. And then a pianist comes to your town and sits down and plays this song. Can you imagine what that’d be like? Grown men would start crying. It’s moving.
