...early 1960s Maurizio Pollini of Milan, Italy, looked like the keyboard's most glamorous Cinderella since Van Cliburn of Kilgore, Texas, conquered Moscow. At 18, Pollini beat out a field of 78 to win the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. He was promptly whisked off to recording studios in London, and the result-an LP of the Chopin Concerto No. 1-brought critical raves on both sides of the Atlantic. Concert bookings were thrust upon...
...above the stage, spanning 210 ft. at the top. At the start of the show, roadies-rechristened "wallies" for the occasion-start stacking 340 cardboard bricks until, at intermission, the wall stands completed.

Yes, yes, I know what she means but my head is down on the keyboard waiting for the half-hearted cheer and agitated, pathetic energy that greets The Machine's rebirth. A terminal watcher walks by and says 'I think we have a casualty," and I wonder he is referring to me or the terminal, whose plug I just undid when I crossed my legs...
