Valentina I'm sure that your favourite piano is Bosendorfer! But would you like to tell me is this piano (on the video) made to order? The last octave is too long I think?! Very interesting! Did somebody notice the long keyboard?

[ValentinaLisitsa]

All Bosys have extra keys (except the small grands and recent 280). 275 which I am playing here has 4 extra notes in the base, Imperial 290 (my other piano) has 10 extra keys, 98 in total.

Valentina, it was nice to hear you with hilary Hahn at Spivey Hall today 2/15, but I'd much rather have heard you in a solo recital. After that Ives and Bartok I was about out of my mind. I kept thinking Mozart, Lizst, Schubert, The Rach #2. I know the selections today must be rewarding for performers, but for audiences? That's another matter- The Bramhs though was superb- Brava-

[ValentinaLisitsa]

That's why I carry about 100 pounds worth of Mozart ,Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert music in my suitcase for this tour. It helps to keep me sane . I share your feelings - 100%but the choice was not mine.I suffer from sever Ives poisoning - "Poison Ives' LOL

Music to love and enjoy. Thanx for making a Schubert song sing so eloquently and impressively. I would buy any recording you ever released by any composer you ever played. You make beautiful music, it makes my heart sing. Cheers!

I own an Bösendorfer 290 Imperial and i was able to count 97 keys.

@ValentinaLisitsa I completely agree with everything ultrapc52 says. Your Wanderer Fantasy would be absolutely sublime!!! And I hail from Memphis, TN. I would count myself a blessed creature to have the chance to behold your talent and music and, well, beauty! :)

Best wishes! :)

@ValentinaLisitsa

Have you, or are you going to play Schuberts Wanderer Fantasy? I love that piece. It has been one of my favorites and I firmly believe that YOU are the only person gifted enough to do it total justice. Your talent staggers my imagination and every time I have a chance to listen to you, I DO NOT hesitate to do so. Unfortunately I live in a small city in the midwest (Sioux City, IA) that most likely will never see your talent. But I can always hope.
