Respuesta :
August Wilson sees the "piano lesson" as a metaphor for the lesson on legacy and its applications. The abundance of music in the play can be viewed as pedagogical exercises on the Charles family legacy. A number of the songs in the play serve as "documents," recalling specific moments in the family's history.
The Piano Lesson is set in Pittsburgh in 1936, with all of the action taking place in Doaker Charles' house. The parlor is dominated by a 137-year-old upright piano decorated with totems in the style of African sculpture.
The play begins at sunrise. Doaker's nephew, Boy Willie, knocks on the door and enters with his partner, Lymon. Two people have traveled from Mississippi to sell watermelons. Willie hasn't seen his sister Berniece, who lives with Doaker, in three years because he's been imprisoned at the Parchman Prison Farm.
