In this episode of Bach to Basics, Sascha and Adam chat with pianist and 3MBS local Stewart Kelly. They ask Stewart;<br />Why do pianists usually start so young? Is there a relationship between someones physical build and their piano sound?  How hard is it to overcome handspan limitations? What do they mean when they refer to a pianist's touch? What makes a really great player? How much more goes into playing the piano than just hitting the notes? And are pianists REALLY Kings of the Musical World?

S1 - EP 5 - The Horn Player- Rachel Shaw

What is a deceptive cadence? Why don’t we applaud between movements? Did we ever? What is A440? Where has the contralto gone?  Why is the twelfth root of 2 so important in music? Bach to Basics each week brings in a different instrumentalist into the studio to dig around in the nooks and crannies of Classical Music. Co-hosted by Sascha Kelly and Adam Branson, Bach to Basics shows that the simplest of questions don't always have the simplest of answers.
