Guy, Tzimon Barto will not demolish the piano. He is an excellent pianist, Julliard trained, and knows how to handle his strength. What is interesting about Tzimon is his name. If I remember correctly from chatting with him, it is Joseph Bartholomew Smith, nicknamed in school Barto. When Joe Smith wanted to start his concert career, his teacher, Adele Marcus, advised him to use a more "exotic" name. He just chose the foreign-sounding Tzimon and stuck his nickname onto it. I think I have the name and training details right, but I'm not sure. If this is inaccurate, someone please correct me. In any case, he is easy to get along with. Joel Rappaport Round Rock, Texas
