I remember an anecdotal story written into a biography of Woldgang Amadeus Mozart that may apply here.

Not sure if it actually happened or not, but it does indeed have that certain Ring of Truth to it.

Apparently Mozart's father caught a very young Amadeus seated in front of dad's piano and plunking away at the keys.

Not surprising there, since this is something that just about any child will do after witnessing an older person playing the piano.

But Mozart's dad said to the toddler something along the lines of, "What are you doing at my piano?"

And Wolfgang replied, "I'm trying to find the notes that LIKE each other!"

By George, I think he must have FOUND them.

Indeed.
