This must be what going crazy feels like.

Our wonderful next door neighbours appear to have bought a piano. Or a keyboard that sounds like one through the walls.

You know what's not-fun? Listening to someone play Men of Harlech thirty times, and hitting the same freaking wrong note in the same place every single time.

Don't get me wrong; I can't even play chopsticks and whoever's playing is pretty good. But I wish she/he would play something I don't know, so I won't notice the mistakes!

Oh sweetie, they make earphones that block noise from outside and they really work. It is probably your only chance at peace. My sister and brother use them to listen to music while they mow. It blocks a mower - surely they would block even 'Men of Harlech'?

Yeah, but... "peace" to me means quiet. Not some other kind of music.

It'll be okay. I can put up with it for a few days (could just be a novelty thing) and if it goes on for too long I'll go have a word with them. If it's female-neighbour playing, she doesn't work so maybe she'd be willing to schedule her music time during the day. It can't be one of their kids: whoever was playing was too good to be that young. If it's male-neighbour I'll be screwed, though.
