Obviously, They Prefer Fartissimo
(In music, “pianissimo” means “very quiet”. It is abbreviated as “PP” on sheet music and scores. Currently, I am teaching a student who always pounds the keys, no matter what dynamic level is indicated.)
Student: “Oh no! This has PP!”
Me: “Yep, it’s a quiet piece.”
Student: “I hate PP! It’s too hard to do. I can’t do PP!”
Me: “Sounds like a personal problem to me, buddy…”
