Steinway gift inspires teen pianist

From CBC News:
"An accomplished teenage pianist has received an early Christmas gift from a Calgary businesswoman — a Steinway concert grand.

Jan
Lisiecki, 14, has performed in concert halls internationally and has won several major music competitions.

He recently returned from winning a competition in Montreal to find a nine-foot Steinway in his living room. Valued at $138,000, it was a gift from Irene
Besse, a piano dealer and music instructor."
This is the meaning of Christmas. And she took out a loan to pay for it—and put the piano in the pianist's name. It is his, and the music is ours. But the glory is hers.
