That’s how a policeman takes break

A policeman takes a musical break from his beat on Prague’s streets by treating passers-by to a tune on a street piano.
It is perhaps evidence of a more peaceful society that a policeman in Prague sat down to play a street piano whilst on duty, as his colleague watched.

A video, posted by YouTube user Katya Pushko shows the policemen, both wearing high-visibility jackets stationed at a piano on the pavement. One of the policemen plays a version of “Yiruma’s River Flows in You” as his colleague stands listening.

The Czech capital is currently home to five street pianos and aims to bring an element of surprise to commuters’ journeys and to “revive and heal” public spaces through music.

The capital hopes to have up-to 30 installed around the city next summer.

The local administration said that this is just the beginning. People are contacting us, offering to give pianos for free. So we are going to keep putting them around the city and hopefully inspire other people – for instance, some café could install their own piano, and so on. It’s a simple, easy instrument of communication. It adds unexpectedness to people’s journey to work.
