  1. #Study from Sep '25 claims they've proven that #pianists can alter #timber, #brightness, w/ how they play (the #percussion #instrument by pressing keys).
    But for all its wordiness, they never describe a single #technique used, they never discuss what they saw w/ all those cameras. They don't say what #music they used or its complexity, how the #listeners heard it (was it #recorded? #live in the room?).
    Put simply: I don't believe them (& I'm a pianist).

  6. Released: April 8, 2026: youtube.com/watch?v=BtVaCWSU2gs

    Finally viewed a performance of Ravel's La Valse. I have the piano solo, piano duet, and 2 piano 4 hands arrangements, but never had the honor, pianistic mastery or a capable piano partner willing to invest time to perform this work. I've known this piece for over 50 years and it continues to inspire. Was dedicated by Ravel to Johann Strauss II.
