The Italian composer and conductor Ezio Bosso has asked fans to stop begging him to play the piano as two of his fingers “no longer respond well” because of a neurodegenerative illness.

Bosso was conducting his Philharmonic Orchestra of Europe at a theatre in Foggia, in the southern Italian region of Puglia, on Saturday night when he reportedly came under pressure from the audience to play.

“If you love me, please don’t ask me to play any more,” Italian newspapers quoted him as saying during a discussion at an exhibition centre in Bari the next day.

“You do not know the suffering it causes me … I have two fingers that no longer respond well and so I can’t give as much to the music.”

Steinway & Sons have teamed up with Cameron Design House to create the Steinway Haara Chandelier.

The design is inspired by Steinway’s iconic black lacquered gloss finish, and comes complete with brass accents and the Steinway & Sons emblem.

As well as being inspired by Steinway’s classic design, the chandelier also aims to evoke a weeping willow with its delicate yet structured look.

Advice from a tuner in our team: Please maintain your piano in an environment with a humidity level between 40% to 60%.

In Singapore, the humidity level hovers between 80% to 90% throughout the whole year, and pianos placed in such environments over a long period of time can degrade and become rusty, and mouldy; and might eventually become almost impossible for technicians to repair/rebuild it back to its original/decent condition.

Please take note, especially if you have a high-end piano and you want to protect your investment and asset.

Is your child learning just three piano exam pieces, and practicing the same scales and arpeggios day in and out every grading year so that he can take the piano exam?

Sounds too familiar? Most importantly, is there anything bad with this approach at all, and is there even any good? Should you, as a parent, be concerned?

Kathy’s replies shocked me! She requested that the payments be made monthly instead of quarterly, so that they would be easier to track. She would not honour 4 lessons out of the total of 24 conducted since the last payment, as she suspected I wasn't here for these lessons. The last reply really hit me straight in the face: "I didn't check the earlier months. I trusted you, you know. Now I check this month, and it's like this!"

14-year-old pianist Adrian Tang Zhi Feng was crowned the Grand Prize winner and top performer of the Senior Category at the Young Talents Project 2019 (YTP) Grand Finals held today at the Victoria Concert Hall.

Organised by Singapore’s only classical music station Symphony 924, YTP is Mediacorp’s annual celebration of classical music and talents. In its eighth edition this year, YTP saw close to a hundred young musicians entering the competition in two age categories – Junior Category for children between seven and 12 years old, and Senior Category for those aged between 13 and 17. Ten finalists were eventually shortlisted to perform a classical piece of their choice at the Grand Finals.
