Which Bradbury short is this??
Ok, so I have the basic plot and I was wondering, hoping if someone can tell me which Bradbury short it is?

Plot: A child living in the woods one day finds a house with a piano, and starts composing music. Turns out he's being secretly recorded.

One day someone alters this "experiment" by leaving a record player and music, hearing this, it "destroys" the naive way in which he had been composing.

Thats all I can remember.

Thanks,
Joey

Not Bradbury unless it's in one of the few collections I haven't got to yet.

For a similar idea in song, see "Flowers are Red" by Harry Chapin.

Thanks. Maybe someone else will recognize it as Bradbury. Or perhaps it's Bova.
