In Vigevano, the 107-year-old pianist who plays Chopin

1. 107 years old? I would say her memory is working well

2. I would say that if she plays with https://www.pianoconcerto.it/forum/index.php?/topic/6404-imbarazzante

3. clearly unlistenable

But she makes me feel tender/sympathy

beautiful! it's a wonder! anyway, is the piano more or less its age?!?!? together they are exceptional!

they definitely give great hope....I often wonder what to do when old age makes itself felt! it's one of those ideas I can't bear, having to stop playing....it would feel like becoming autistic!!!

I was wondering if what we hear grandmother playing is what remains of the memory of a time long ago. The right hand "remembers" the melody while the left goes its own way.

A plea to the relatives: "tune the piano for her!"
