Question

What is the pianist in "the weary blues" doing when he makes the piano "moan with melody"? question 12 options: playing sadly with feeling humming with the music banging violently on the keys playing poorly though enthusiastically?

Answer 1

I would say the answer is playing sadly with feeling. I don't believe that banging violently would produce a sound that makes the piano sound as though it "moans with melody" The other two answer choices wouldn't produce a sound like that either. So playing sadly with feeling seems to be the best choice.
