That is useful feedback, even if we would choose differently. I want to keep “Play one melody several ways for friends” manageable for the people involved. That is a useful distinction. A conversation afterwards can be its own invitation, without requiring someone to take part in everything.

I want to invite a few friends to an available piano, with the owner's permission, and try one melody in three different moods. They can suggest the fourth. A little companionship would be welcome; my metronome is a rather repetitive conversationalist.

“Play one melody several ways for friends” is the starting point, not a promise of a perfect result. I would ask what would make one attempt possible and listen to the answer.

For this wish, Samer Haddad: I like that this stayed small. My temptation would be to add three more things before starting. I would also like to find three plant-based dinners I want to cook again.
