Anatomy Of The Piano (For Beginniners) (Will Pickvance)

By Raphael Highgate-Betts | Published on Tuesday 18 August 2015

Have you ever wondered how the piano got its teeth? Or why composers are so grumpy? Will Pickvance has. ‘Anatomy Of The Piano’ is highly entertaining and 100% engaging. It will have you laughing along, cheering for more and it might even teach you a thing or two. A single piano in the middle of the stage is all it takes to whisk the audience off on a musical adventure to the stars. It’s cleverly set to a constant live score, which is a testament to Pickvance’s talents, and the passion he has for his subject endears you to him right from the start. The children in the audience loved it and the grown ups were laughing along too. A real musical treat.

Summerhall, until 30 Aug.
