I'm glad she wasn't playing Rach's PC #3.

...The program also had Chopin concerto No. 2 (I think it was No.2) and I was asked by the Canadian pianist to turn pages, which I did. He played a Chopin concerto, and used the score? 
Regards,
Polyphonist

Polyphonist: Yes. I was curious as well... He DID know it (he hardly glanced at the score, or cared to give me any pointers on when to turn the pages...), but he wanted a safety net...
Bruce: I know you know! :P (I just meant that my story in general has no place here, but felt compelled to post it, because of the need for a score of the pianist...) and found the awesome way to show that...

I heard a lovely (and very well received) performance of Beethoven's 4th for which the pianist, the professor at Sheffield University, used the score. It shouldn't bother people and, if it does, maybe those people should just get over it. I don't want people to miss out on fine performances because of this issue.

BTW "professor" in UK is not a generic term for all faculty but the holder of a "chair". Other ranks have different titles like Lecturer, Senior lecturer or Reader.

You don't want to deal with sloppy turners ... learn the music.

When I participated in Make Music New York's outside keyboard Guinness World Record event this summer, the wind blew away several of my pages as I needed them. I guess my phone was an insufficient paperweight!
Beethoven - Op.49 No.1 (sonata 19)
Czerny - Op.299 Nos. 5,7 (School of Velocity)
Liszt - S.172 No.2 (Consolation No.2)
Dream piece:
Rachmaninoff - Sonata 2, movement 2 in E minor

Thank goodness pianists don't normally have the kind of problem with page turners as depicted in the French movie La tourneuse de pages..... http://youtu.be/OV1dpNYYQVM I don't play cello, but I'm pretty sure that's not what that thing at the bottom is for. It's a peg so you can stand the cello up while you're playing it.

It's true I don't play cello, but I did happen to know what it was for; I was just making a bit of a joke, albeit unsuccessfully, apparently. At one particular moment in the trailer for the movie Bennevis posted, the cello's peg was used less for its cello-propping qualities and more for its, uh...let's just say its more "stabby" qualities. As one unfortunate foot discovered right at the 1:09 mark in quite grisly fashion. *shudder* Thanks, Bennevis, for the nightmares.

My pleasure . I like the way the movie uses the appropriate music to make its, er, point. I won't spoil things by revealing what happened in the end (in case you want to watch the whole movie, which is highly recommended), but I'll just say that it isn't quite what one would expect..... As they say, revenge is a dish best served _ _ _ _
If music be the food of love, play on!

Yeah, I used to play cello, and while I never stabbed anyone's foot with the peg, I did accidentally hit one of my brothers in the nuts with the bow :P
