[pianotech] The World's Greatest Musical Prodigies

[david at piano.plus.com]

I happened to catch the second of the (UK) Channel 4 TV programmes in the
series "The  World's  Greatest Musical Prodigies" last night.

The 16 year old UK composer who is being featured, was in Shanghai to
select a young pianist for the concerto he will write, to be performed at
The Sage, Gateshead (NorthEast England).

How charming and happy, and incredibly accomplished, all the young
pianists were!

They said in the programme, that there are thirty million young people
learning piano in China.  It seemed clear fromt he state of the pianos,
that tuners have not kept pace with learners and manufacturers, in China!
