Mozart's Alla Turca

Happy Birthday, Mozart!  I found out in one of my group classes today that half of the choices for favorite Mozart pieces came out to be the Rondo Alla Turca from his A Major piano Sonata.  So, for those of you that chose that as your favorite Mozart piece, here is another take on it.  Enjoy!

A Grander Grand

For those of you still in the market for a piano, the ante has just been upped!  Now, better than an 88-key grand piano, an innovative, new piano is on the market.  The Stuart and Sons Grand piano has 102 keys and a curious device that makes the strings vibrate differently.  There are, of course, people discussing pros and cons of such a new idea in the piano world, which has remained pretty much static since the end of the 19th century.  I'm happy with my Schimmel, but I wouldn't mind trying one of these out if anyone has the $300,000 and the room to spare!
