[F_minor] New Steinway documentary

[paul wiener <pwiener@ms.cc.sunysb.edu>]

This is a little off-topic, but I'm sure many of you will be interested.

I just saw a recent documentary on the making of a Steinway concert 
grand, "Note by Note, the Making of Steinway L1037"  which follows in 
exquisite detail the hand-crafted manufacture and other fascinating 
steps involved in making the instrument (it takes a year - see its 
frame being bent from raw wood!).

This is being shown in very limited venues across the US, and can be 
bought from the producer's website for $25.  It is simply an 
incredibly  beautifully  filmed movie, with a great 
soundtrack,  historical details, and  also features several 
well-known jazz and classical pianists ( Harry Connick, Lang Lang, 
etc., shown playing in the Steinway showrooms). It's a great 
testament to hand-craftsmanship and the secrets of pianism.  I know 
Gould wasn't a big Steinway fan, but that's irrelevant here. This is 
a one-of-a-kind movie and has already garnered several awards.
