Great interview, Tiffany! Thanks! :-)

Thank you for your videos

Tiffany, you are a wonderful interviewer, and chose a great subject for this episode. I greatly admire the work you do, and although I don't have the money to support good causes, I have felt compelled to make a (very) small contribution to your charity to help with all the hard work you put in. I enjoy all of your videos, and hope that you will long continue with them. Good luck with your future career - I know that the pandemic has caused great disruption to it, but maybe sometime soon life will return to a degree of normality and you will be able to perform more often. If you ever come to New Zealand, I shall make sure not to miss seeing you.

I too appreciate Steinway's insight regarding the significance of Tiffany Poon's initiative to regularly engage with important musical minds and showcase their thoughts and opinions about the vast world of music. I visit Tiffany's site quite often to pick up on the current buzz and pulse of what's happening generally with a younger generation on the music scene. No one is more current than Ben Finane.

Want to thank Steinway & Sons for their enlightened & generous sponsorship of exceptional young talents like the resourceful & highly gifted Tiffany Poon which further enobles the great piano compnay as a supernal manufacturer and its peerless history.

I really enjoyed this interview. It was beautifully done, the questions were well thought out and I really learned quite a bit especially his criteria on how to be a good critic. Also fascinating is his opinion that his writing passes through other eyes before it is published. I wondered if an argument can be made that there is a difference between producing a written piece for a large organization like Steinway vs. a company that is owned by a single individual sharing a personal experience and journey. What a great discussion this was.

Great interview... probably the most important message to artists is to learn how best to own and control their content. I think the scales have tipped in the direction of the artist in recent years for having more control which is a good thing.

26:14 ... It's not Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule. Gladwell misquoted Anders Ericsson, who makes it clear in his book 'Peak' that it is _not_ a rule.

Did anyone note the podcasts he suggested? All I remember is Regina Spektor's and Bill Murray's?
