It might appear odd to encounter a recording of Johannes Brahms' Lieder (German art songs) arranged for four hands on the piano.

But why not? In actual fact, much of the German composer's orchestral music (all four symphonies, overtures and serenades), chamber music (quartets and quintets) and even his German Requiem exist in versions for piano four hands.

The soothing sound of a grand piano drifted across Taksim Square, bringing a welcome calm a day after violence rocked the area.

Throughout the day protesters had been readying themselves for another assault by police.

But then, in the space of a few hours, the atmosphere in the square changed; and it had a lot to do with one man and his piano.

But then, in the space of a few hours, the atmosphere in the square changed; and it had a lot to do with one man and his piano.

Hundreds gathered around German musician Davide Martello as he clinked away late into the evening. They were mostly silent while he played John Lennon’s Imagine, some Bach, and his own composition “Lightsoldiers.”

Chinese pianist Yuja Wang arrived at Vancouver Airport, Canada, for a recital only to be detained by police.

She was subject to 'intense questioning' for over an hour upon arrival in Canada over the weekend, causing her to almost miss her recital that evening at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts.

"Martha once said that Prokofiev is her best friend. Now I can see what she meant."

"The killer octaves at 18:01...oh my.. "

"Mind-blowing - She is a living miracle."

"It is quite perturbing that she plays this massive difficult piece at 77 as when she was 30......"

"I was there seated at the second row from the stage, totally mesmerized by Martha"s stunning performance. To watch her live was a dream come true."

Zsuzsanna Foldi has been deaf all her life. Still, with her hands placed on the double bass, sitting among musicians in Budapest's Danubia orchestra, she can enjoy and literally feel Beethoven's famous Fifth Symphony.

"When I sat next to the musician who played the bass today, I started crying," she said.

If you’re going to ruin a New Year's Eve performance by punk singer and performance artist Amanda Palmer by failing to switch your mobile phone to ‘silent’, you should understand there will be consequences.

In this case, the mobile phone belonged to a track-suited man, who was quickly given up by his fellow audience members. His punishment? To complete Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 while Palmer quaffed her New Year's Eve champagne.
