Dear Pianoworld members,

I'm a pianophile/performance student who's started covering everything piano-related in the US - specifically in San Francisco. I'll be updating several times every week. If you're interested, follow me here:

Thanks, and feel free to drop me a line to discuss topics that you'd be interested in reading about!

I should also mention that if there are any pianists giving concerts in the Bay area - just e-mail me to let me know, and I can create some exposure and guarantee that the word gets out.

Perhaps you should clarify that : "everything [...] in the US" seems somewhat contradicted by the limiting "specifically in San Francisco". How do you hope to cover "everything piano-related in the US"? What are the sources you can draw upon that will enable you to tackle such a wide scope?

Regards,

maybe he meant "especially" not "specifically"?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for reply. My goal is to create as much exposure for the art form that we all love here. I will be providing up-to-date news on the major piano-related events in the US. These items would include cancellations of tours of major artists, deaths (which is a morbid reality in this field), competitions, and contracts awarded to artists, etc.
By "specifically in San Francisco", I mean that if a notable artist comes to the Bay Area, I will undoubtedly be there to cover the event. If an artist makes headlines in New York, I will be sure to keep my readers informed of such an important event. However, if X-pianist plays in a barn to an audience of three, then I'd be happy to replace "everything" with "important piano-related".

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any other concerns.
All the best,
Elijah
