In this episode of Bach to Basics, Sascha and Adam chat with pianist and 3MBS local Stewart Kelly. They ask Stewart;
Why do pianists usually start so young? Is there a relationship between someones physical build and their piano sound?  How hard is it to overcome handspan limitations? What do they mean when they refer to a pianist's touch? What makes a really great player? How much more goes into playing the piano than just hitting the notes? And are pianists REALLY Kings of the Musical World?
