The rela onship between the pianist and piano is a highly personal, subjec ve one. In ideal circumstances, it’s a love affair that deepens over me. With my new Fazioli, it truly was love at first sight, or should I say, touch. Over the last few months, my rela onship with this fabulous instrument has only deepened. It is definitely a two-way rela onship. The Fazioli is teaching definitely a two-way rela onship. The Fazioli is teaching me news ways of crea ng music at the piano. It doesexactly what you ask, nothing more, nothing less, which
requires a more precise kind of playing and thinking. It’s almost like star ng over, even with pieces I’ve played for most of my life. The sound is beau ful, clear, and warm. I feel like I have only begun to realize its full capabili es, and I look forward to a long, happy rela onshipwith this amazing instrument. I consider it to be one of thefinest instruments I have played anywhere, and I feel finest instruments I have played anywhere, and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to spend me with it regularly, both as a player and listener.
