It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Yeah, that's what I just said to Irina Lankova also! Wish you could come too, Sib!
Why? Have you and Irina Lankova progressed from mutual admiration to FFF (fast facebook friends) ?

And par for the course for people who live in D.C., it's the visitor from away who first finds out about this concert while the D.C. resident was clueless

Heads up everyone who was planning to hear the Beethoven sonatas from Kissin this coming season - they’re selling out many months in advance.
I checked out several of the European recitals in November, December, January and February, and the only one that had a halfway decent seat left (balcony, but at least not in the back on the right or something like that) was London in early February.
It’s only a week before I’ll be off to Vienna again, but I can’t miss this. Haven’t heard my favourite sonata live in literally decades
Just letting ye know... get your tickets if you were planning to.
Thankfully, I have my tickets for Kissin's Philadelphia recital in May. And good seats as well!
DC area residents: Beatrice Rana will be performing at the Terrace Theater in the Kennedy Center on May 12 at 7:30. Tickets available now! Thanks to fellow Beatrice fan ClsscLib for bringing this to my attention and purchasing tickets for us. Terrific program: Bach Italian Concerto, Schumann Sonata No. 3, Albeniz Iberia Book 3, and Stravinsky Petrouchka suite.

Looking forward to comparing notes with you

Dooooo eeeeet! You won't possibly regret this. And the way it looks, even if something completely unavoidable comes up, you'll have no trouble reselling the ticket(s).

Is anyone from or in Budapest and has experience with the Bela Bartok hall? I am here for a couple of days and want to attend a concert tomorrow, "Three Works by Bartok" (Two Portraits, op. 5, 3rd piano concerto with Dezső Ránki, and Bluebeard's Castle). It is sold out, but I read that the hall includes a designated standing area. I wrote the hall and got no response- has anyone done standing tickets there? If yes, how early does one need to be there?

Wanted to follow up to my previous posts so you would know that I do now own the AvantGrand N2 (best hybrid digital piano currently available) and also the Yamaha P-515 (just recently acquired and is the reason for the new member name) along with the older Yamaha Clavinova CLP-990 that dates from 2001 and received it from a New York, NY seller, here -- in this thread:
The other Baldwin SF-10 grand piano purchased from Greg Kottmann (at Piano Pros in West Chester, OH) had to be sold after encountering issues with legs that had a stability problem (as the piano wobbled when played) and required replacement and there were old bass strings that were quite "tubby" sounding -- this turned out to be quite enough disappointment to sell the piano and move on.
All current digital(s) play and sound better than that Baldwin SF-10 grand piano!
Yammy How many different threads do you need to post the same OT message about the pianos you now own? I’m sure Mark has seen your personal OT message by now or will soon since you have posted this three times.
I wish there was a thread for upcoming UNimportant concerts! In any event, if you live or work in DC and want to take a break from said life/work, I’ll be performing some Liszt in a lunchtime recital at Calvary Baptist Church in Chinatown this coming Friday, October 11, at noon. Program to include the mighty Vallee d’Obermann. Admission is free, but with a suggested (i.e. mandatory) donation. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I think it may be time to catch up on your piano progress. I will likely come since it is 0.5 miles from me - a 10 mins walk.

You obvious didn’t get memo: Performances by PW members are ALWAYS important 😊
