I am not = supporting him as I feel your assessment of the situation along with your department chair is fair. But, in defense of us who are organists, you will find that most organists were pianists first and since organ technique is altogether different than piano technique, I suspect that he was out of his milieu. If he is a bad organist as well, then I would say all bets are off.

First of all, he agrees with me that the piano is supposed to be that way. It's part of the characteristic of the S&S D. Second, the accompanist is not very good, and is, in fact, an organist.He wasn't used to hearing a note continue to sound after letting go of it. And third, the chair said, in the future, just act dumb. Tell whomever that this is the best the piano will do, and let it go at that. On a side note. The accompanist reheared on the piano both Saturday and Sunday. I asked him why he waited until half an hour before the concert to complain. He said he didn't "notice" the problem before. (As if that's a problem that just sort of happens at the last minute.) The lesson learned, I guess, is that some pianist, really aren't. And they're the hardest ones to please. (But I guess most of you already knew that.)=20 Wim=20 --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
