  2. I've just read Lang Lang's autobiography. Unbelievable, utterly shocking in what his father put him through in the drive to be China's Number One, but also his own determination to perfect his massive talent. Just read it, and be glad you weren't born in China with a gift for playing keyboards.

    I failed to recognise the "instantly recognisable piano introduction" to the Don Henley song.


    Indeed, I salute its unrecognisability!
