The piano held up, except for C#5. About midway through the first movement, the unison went out. Of course that's where it is played over and over again. From the audience I could here another unison out of tune here and there, but not as blatant as the C#. After the concert, however, the pianist complimented me on the tuning. He was grateful the piano held up as good as it did, not just for the concert, but throughout the weekend during the rehearsals. Wim </HTML>
