“PIANISTS, ON YOUR MARKS”
The Christian Science Monitor
July 4, 2011

On a Personal Note is a poignant documentary about the New York Piano Competition, a five-day, no-elimination contest for 14-to-18-year-olds. The up-close filmmaking takes viewers inside a rarefied universe of aspiring classical performers and helps general audiences understand the mystery, the music, and the magic of serious piano performance. It is available on DVD but will also debut on New York’s WLIW Saturday, July 9.
