Where The Piano Got Its Shape
What is it about a grand piano - even a smaller one - that looks so fabulous? I wonder how much styling went into that basic shape? After all it could have simply remained a square box that would have bedn infinitely easier to build.
Franz Schubert’s unfinished F-sharp minor piano sonata movement is one of the hidden gems in his output. Hauntingly beautiful.
Literally a violin fan.
Great story!

Flight attendant calls on cellist to play a Brahms lullaby to help passengers sleep
A cellist was aboard a flight from Vienna to Washington, when one of the flight attendants asked him to take out his instrument, so she could ‘video it and share with her boyfriend’.
Nice article by @WQXR about Scott Joplin’s struggle to produce his opera Treemonisha, his resulting depression, its revival in the 70’s, and the need for more innovation in opera programming today.
"Highlighting artists from the historical margins takes work, and it means inevitable risks. The 1972 production of Treemonisha provides an example of what that effort looks like." What we can learn from the trials of Scott Joplin's forgotten opera 👇 bit.ly/2HnZatR

This Opera Taught Us We Don't Need Mozart to Pack the House | WQXR Editorial | WQXR
Scott Joplin wrote his opera Treemonisha in 1910, but it didn't get a premiere until six decades later. Its production is an example of how to move outside of the canon.
An engaging and well-crafted article from @spectator about the prodigiously talented Lili Boulanger, who passed away at a tragically young age. Thanks to @AlanMooreMusic for sharing it.
