The Glass Piano is a new play by Alix Sobler, currently on at the Coronet Theatre in London. Is its story a wild piece of absurdist invention? A resonant bit of symbolism?
Not a bit. Princess Alexandra of Bavaria was a real, 23-year-old royal, who really did believe she had swallowed a piano made of glass when she was child.

Not a bit. Princess Alexandra of Bavaria was a real, 23-year-old royal, who really did believe she had swallowed a piano made of glass when she was child.
She crept slowly through the corridors of the palace, turning sideways to get through doorways, terrified that if she knocked into something or was jostled, the instrument inside her would shatter into thousands of pieces.

Though MIDI has done an exceptional job of digitizing music for the last 37 years, it hasn’t been perfect.
In early January 2020, the MIDI Manufacturers Association, the nonprofit organization that manages MIDI, announced the release of MIDI 2.0. The new protocol involved years of work from the organization’s volunteers, and getting companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and all of the major music manufacturers on board.

A work that sweeps across the senses, Dragon Ladies Don’t Weep is a sonic portrait of new music icon Margaret Leng Tan—an evocative exploration of memory, time, control and loss.
New York-based Singaporean pianist Tan forged a path as a major force within the American avant-garde, serving as muse to giants such as John Cage and George Crumb, and transforming the toy piano into a serious instrument.

New York-based Singaporean pianist Tan forged a path as a major force within the American avant-garde, serving as muse to giants such as John Cage and George Crumb, and transforming the toy piano into a serious instrument. Her stellar career is a touchstone for the past 40 years of experimental musical innovation.
Dragon Ladies Don’t Weep combines spoken and recorded text, projected images and original music for prepared piano, toy piano, toys and percussion by Tan’s long-term collaborator Erik Griswold.

For the past 19 years, the University of California San Diego Library has held a Toy Piano Festival. It was established to celebrate this unique musical instrument and to pay homage to American composer John Cage.
The instrument’s popularity is down to one man – Albert Schoenhut. He came from a German toy-making family and in 1872 established the Schoenhut Piano Company in America. It is still the world’s leading toy piano manufacturer.
