Sonata in B minor, S. 178; Franz Liszt

This turned out to be a student recital. The oldest of the first 3 performers is just out of high school & Ms. Lin is at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, but all are apparently accomplished competition winners of some sort. I've never been to this concert series before, but it certainly has its audience. There may have been 200 in attendance, though I overheard someone remark that turnout was low. I sat next to a woman who looked around & then observed, "The average age appears to be 90." This of course made me laugh. As did the remark of a man behind me, who asked, "I wonder where that piano spends most of its time?"
