This "piano lesson" is akin to the tripe purveyed by the "play piano in a flash" guy on PBS, and is aimed at the person who "always knew I felt musical" but couldn't be bothered with putting in a little time and effort to acquire basic music-reading skills. Strictly home-recreation and self-amusement stuff, this.

True, but he has done some (moderately) more complex stuff as well, like the Chopin C sharp minor waltz.

I'm sure you could get away with just mentioning the fall of a once wallstrait oldparr.
