The piano on which Paul McCartney wrote the exbeatle Yesterday, one of the most versioned in pop music history will be auctioned on Thursday in London. The piano, an art deco Eavestaff acquired in 1926 by the family of the British singer Alma Cogan, will be sold for an approximate price of 125,000 pounds (141,000 euros) as responsible for the auction, the Fame Bureau in London.
The instrument, which was also played by American musicians such as Sammy Davis Jr. and the leader of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, was during the 1960 Cogan's house in the London borough of Kensington, a place known by that then the cultural events and festivals celebrated in it. McCartney dreamed the melody of 'Yesterday' one night in 1964 and played for the first time McCartney's piano Cogan was Cogan's mansion after a night dreaming of 1964 to the tune that became Yesterday, as he told once.
There he played for the first time one of the most popular songs of the twentieth century, with the intention that her friend confirmed that it was an original tune, not an existing theme that McCartney had recovered so unconsciously during sleep. In his biography many years ago, McCartney recalled that the first thing I did was check the melody he had "no owner".
"It took me a while to make sure that did not belong to anyone, and finally claimed it as mine. At first I did not know what letter to put" he said. Yesterday, exbeatle theme to which he referred to as scrambled eggs before composing the final point, was launched in 1965 as part of the Help album by British band.
In Thursday's auction will go on sale other objects related to the legendary band from Liverpool, like a guitar that McCartney gave Cherry Red guitarist Jimmy McCulloch at the time in which both belonged to the band Wings. The Beatles' mythomaniacs may also add to their collections a contract written in German, signed by all four band members before the addition of drummer Ringo Starr, as well as various items signed by Paul and John.
Among the rarities, demonstrated some pages in which the young McCartney tried the technique of writing backwards.
