Thank you for reposting this memory of Apple.

Hands? You want to see some great hands?

@CHAS His hands are much bigger than Apple's (or mine for that matter!)
Also, it looks like he some flat(ish) technique peppered in there. My teacher and I have been talking about when to play with flat fingers (for example, when you want a fat melody note)....
OTOH, Apple's hands are standing up, and she really grabs the keyboard. I always found it amazing and compelling to see.

It was from the movie Amelie.

I miss Mary. She was very influential on my piano journey. Whenever I play the Aria from Bach's Goldberg Variations I think about her and how much she encouraged me to learn Bach.
Some memories.
Mary playing the Aria.
Link to videoMary and her Mother at her Piano Party back in 2006. Wow! 20 years ago.

The group shot from that party.

Mary and Kim at our house when they visited for a couple of days. She is reading some Mozart.
