Birth Of Bösendorfer Piano In 4 Minutes – “La Campanella” – Valentina Lisitsa
Original title of this video was planned as ” How it’s made – pianos “. There are tons of those on YouTube: Steinways, Mason & Hamelins, Faziolis….ah, and they also ALL claim to be making ” the greatest piano ever”. LOL! If you know the old joke about Cremona violin makers ( Amati , Stradivari and Guarneri – all working on the same street in the same small town, one putting shop sign up “Best violins in Italy”, another – to outdo the competitor,” we make the best violins in the world”. What was left for 3rd one than to modestly say” We make the best violins on the block”)
So, let’s me be modest too and just say Bösendorfer makes the best pianos on a block 🙂 One thing for sure, this piano is not MADE, it’s BORN, born with a help of so many people putting countless hours of amazing handwork . This is not a machine, it is a living breathing creature that enables us musicians to make our magic on stage :-).
Very special thanks to Angus Campbell Golding for creating this video ! And for all the folks at The Bösendorfer factory in Wiener Neustadt who kindly allowed me to practice on a brand new Imperial – this video is a “byproduct” of my practice session a month ago:-) By the way, if you are near Vienna , do visit the factory – or the showroom ( located, ah!, in Musikverein building). It is well worth the trip :-)))

Dispatches from the Asylum 
dreadful things keep happening because dreadful people OBEY THEM! these monsters in human clothing would get nowhere if the people refused to carry out their orders and refuse to obey them. it is that simple!
it isn’t ruler….it is the belief that he has the right to rule and people jump to make his madness because reality. people working for government are the ones making sure the madness continues…people who put a mask on and lock themselves in their homes for instance…obeying madness! stop obeying! live without them and refuse to do anything to further their mad dreams of power and they lose what they need the most…..the illusion of power.
