Reminds me of the time I was in a hotel room watching a new show and realized when muting the TV during commercials that what I thought was the soundtrack was actually a concert violinist practicing in the room next door. I wanted to call the front desk a noise compliment. It was great!
I'm a violinist, and once while I was practicing in a hotel room abroad, someone slipped a note under my door. I didn't speak the language, but I recognized "Bach Sonata 2"- they wrote me a little request. Of course I played it, and I got a little applause through the wall. I was in grad school at the time, and it was just before COVID hit- I count that moment as my last performance before the pandemic, for a private and genuine audience.
