pianos and politics

Fascinating book.

I discovered today that my Chinese professor's primary realm of research is music. Fuck yes professor, I think we are going to become very good friends.

edit: So I was googling this book and found out that its standard price is about $125. Boy, I love being a college student.

Liszt played so violently that he learned to perform with a spare piano in reserve.
