Joseph Haydn, a famous composer, was age 77 when he died because he was suffering from an illness for a long time. It happened in Vienna on May 31, 1809.
After his burial, his head was severed and stolen. Two men who were interested in phrenology, bribed the gravedigger to steal his head. Pretty eerie, isn’t it?

Jazz musicians, almost by definition, seek an active dialogue between the impulsive and the rational. For some, the terms of that negotiation become a central feature of their art. Dan Tepfer is one of those: a pianist and composer who sees improvisation as the ideal expression of freedom within a framework.
He's fond of interrogating this process, finding new pathways by way of self-imposed restrictions.

Samantha Ege discusses the Czech composer Vítězslava Kaprálová and her pieces Sonata Appassionata and Dubnová Preludia (April Preludes), which feature on a new album of classical solo piano music by women composers neglected by history: Four Women.
Vexations was found with the inscription: “In order to play the theme 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, and in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities”.
The first time the piece was performed in a marathon performance was on September 9, 1963, produced by John Cage and Lewis Lloyd. Cage underestimated the concert’s duration, which went on for as long as 18 hours.

"The Fire Within" is a mini double piano concerto that I co-wrote with the talented Kimberly StarKey (otherwise known as The Rogue Pianist).
P.S. NO YAMAHA PIANOS WERE HURT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO. :)
The piano that was burned was my old Behr Brothers grand piano that I used in 3 of my other music videos. It was terribly damaged and had seen it's day. We also broke it pretty bad on my music video for "A Beautiful Storm", and had to retire it.

A lot of people asked me if I was going to turn it into a table piece, or a garden ornament, I said, "No, I think I'm going to set it on fire." I don't really do anything small, do I. :p
Ever since Romain Thiery stumbled upon an abandoned piano in a castle in 2009, the French photographer – a pianist himself – has travelled all over Europe in search of forgotten pianos, giving them a new lease of life through his images.
So far, he has captured 124 pianos in countries including Spain, Germany and Romania, as well as in remoter places such as the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine, for his ongoing series Requiem Pour Pianos.

Ever since Romain Thiery stumbled upon an abandoned piano in a castle in 2009, the French photographer – a pianist himself – has travelled all over Europe in search of forgotten pianos, giving them a new lease of life through his images.
So far, he has captured 124 pianos in countries including Spain, Germany and Romania, as well as in remoter places such as the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine, for his ongoing series Requiem Pour Pianos.
First he looked for pianos via Google Earth, focusing on castles and cultural buildings; now people contact him directly.
The images, which are not staged, show “the power of music and instruments, even in an environment that no longer attracts our attention”, explains Thiery. “This is what I want to do, to remember these forgotten pianos one last time, before time makes them disappear.”

“I'm already established so I can get jobs overseas and at functions in Singapore. But all these musicians, who need a foundation of performing on home soil, will be coming out with their degrees or diplomas in music and what they end up doing is going back to teach the next generation of jobless musicians. Do we really want to drive all of them overseas?”

Inventing the piano was the culmination of my life’s work. A keyboard instrument unmatched in dynamic range and nuance of expression, it forever changed the way music was composed, performed, and enjoyed. It filled concert halls with a revolutionary new sound that has enchanted listeners for more than three centuries.
And yet, I only feel bitter regret, knowing that my cherished invention led to that guy from The Godfather getting strangled with piano wire.
