Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for October 07, 2019

What is Schroeder playing anyway? (although he likes Beethoven, he’s like Mozart by being able to play piano marvelously at a very young age)

A star is born .

I thought you had to blow in a hole in the back of the piano. Have I been doing it wrong all these years???

And now it begins!

Schroeder has found his calling!

Other then Schroeder finding his piano, Charlie Brown’s classic face is starting to emerge

Yes! THIS is the one I’ve been remembering!!!

A prodigy is born!

Chuck’s right. It is a beautiful instrument when played properly!

Any musicians here that can tell us what it is that Schroder is playing on his first try?

And so it begins…

And a legend is born…

The piece is Prelude in G minor, Rachmaninoff. You would recognize it as it is commonly used to set up a character’s piano virtuosity in movies and TV.

Schroeder taught Charlie Brown a lesson.

And so it begins… .

Love to see the connections that later showed up in Peanuts.

Too bad they didn’t have the “Little Big-Shots” tv show then!

GREAT STRIP!!!!! and hilarious, too.

Is that a baby grand?

Only Schroeder can turn a toy piano into a baby grand.

and so it begins

Charlie Brown: “@&$) #%€¥!”

The beginning of Schroeder’s career. This is the way I remember him.

Now we know who’s fault it is.
