THEME: parts of pianos found in random phrases
GOOD ONES:
Gershwin's preludes {& theme} PIANO PIECES
Short list shortener [two separate clues] ET AL and ETC ["Short" signals abbreviation]
BTW:
I applaud four literary references (two from Macbeth, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and Sherlock Holmes) while ignoring The Simpsons, Star Wars, and Star Trek.
I cannot decode the texting syntax of the clue "Pal to text '<3' symbols to" answered by BFF ("best friends forever"). It seems a foreign language.
ESO should be clued "Pop song '____ Beso'. "
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

The "less than" symbol followed by the number 3 is supposed to look like a heart. Actually, the human heart does not really resemble the traditional heart shape that adorns Valentines Day cards.....but I digress. As for today's crossword answer, I'm assuming "<3 <3 <3" is textspeak for "I love you, I love you, I love you."
We often complain about French, Spanish, German and Italian words appearing in puzzles. To me, these fershlugginer texting symbols seem equally as foreign!

So does fershlugginer, which sounds German or Yiddish.
Thanks for explaining <3. You have more patience than I.
