Went to a delightful Hauschka show last nite. The spry, sweet German fellow, Volker Bertelmann, is a classically trained pianist/composer who outfits his piano with all manner of accessories and trinkets such as leather straps, utensils, bells, & whistles galore. He sat with his piano facing the stage so that we could witness the ingenuity of his "prepared piano" creation. Flanked by two cellists and two violinists, it was a truly lovely, haunting, expansive and simply beautiful set. We applauded him as he exited the bar a few hours after he finished playing, and smiling and gracious, he headed out into a freezing Chicago evening decorated with delicate shakes of snow.photo from here
