Mozart performed his twenty-sixth piano concerto twice in 1789-90 and as was his custom [especially in piano works conceived for himself] he improvised extensively, particularly in the left hand. Now composer and pianist Timo Andres inherits Mozart’s mantle, but with a twenty-first century twist. As Timo explains his re-imagining of K537 fills in the many incomplete sections of...

I thought these renditions of Darth Malak and Darth Revan from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic were brilliant!

Stop the secrecy bill from being passed in South... →
In four days, MPs could pass an outrageous secrecy bill that undermines the constitution and South Africa’s democracy — helping the government keep wrongdoing from the people and enabling cover-ups of corruption and human rights abuses. But there are four people that could make or break this bill: the Chief Whips. Despite top lawyers warning that the bill is unconstitutional, the...

You must forgive me, as this isn’t something I often do; but my sister asked if I would assist her in spreading the word for raising money for her dog’s surgery. I’m familar with the canine, Barley, and I can promise she’s a good dog.

A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the...
