Now wouldn’t you think that a TV special called “Piano Grand,” ostensibly celebrating the 300th “birthday” of the piano would put the instrument center-stage? You’d be wrong, grasshopper. All of the pianos used on this 90-minute PBS special show up anonymously. “Right where the identifying brand should be – just above the keyboard and on the right flank of the beast itself – there is a paste-over label that reads “Piano Grand.” It covers the basic tattoo every piano carries: Steinway, Baldwin, Yamaha.” The camera’s far more interested in the human stars – Dave Brubeck, Billy Joel, Jerry Lee Lewis. – Washington Post
