A very interesting article to read that catches my attention. To perform a classical piano sonata consisting of a number of pages by memory needs intensive preparation to be competitive in such a prestigious piano recital at Carnegie Hall (New York). The teenage pianist has the right to refuse performing a masterpiece of which he is not prepared otherwise he will be the laughing stock of the crowd making himself silly in that competition. Filing a lawsuit is the best way to prevent unaccountable incidents that may recur again in future, not necessarily in his case but to other contenders. Furthermore, the dexterity of his fingers remains intact and able to play flawlessly to complete his allotted time during the recital. Fortunately no physical harm on his fingers incurred by the shutting of the piano keyboard cover. This teenage pianist prefers prestige over monetary gain based on the certificate he wants as a compensation, and what is only due for him as a winner during the preliminary round. It will be great to read the feedback on this article to any forum users especially pianists playing classical music?
