**LIVESTREAM ANNOUNCEMENT**
Hi everyone: in one week, on Friday July 5th, I will be trying out something entirely new for my channel: a concert livestreamed from my studio in Kehl, Germany. This is a double experiment: the first time I have attempted to livestream a concert, and also the first concert of the new ensemble I am starting. The event will last approximately one hour.
The concert will feature the duo Luigi Gaggero (cymbalom) and Dina Pysarenko (piano) in a varied program of classical and contemporary works, including some of my piano pieces. For now the time is set at 20.00 CEST / 2pm EST / 11am PST, but this may change; I will confirm and provide a link ASAP. Mark the date!
Hi friends. This week, you can expect a new analysis video. Next week I’ll be doing a new Q&A — so send me your questions!
Hi everyone. A question: I am sent a LOT of books, CDs and links to listen to and I’ve been wondering what to do with all of these materials, some of which are very interesting indeed. Would you watch a short video in which I present maybe 5 pieces/discs/publications that I recommend checking out? Be honest!
Hi everyone. Since there have been quite a few comments on this: you will doubtless be pleased to hear that I have finally managed to find a good piano technician in my region. He has fixed the squeaking sustain pedal (the sound was not coming from the pedal mechanism, but rather from a joint located somewhere inaccessible that required disassembly of the entire hammer array); and also did a nice tuning job. So my instrument will be sounding better in my next productions. Thanks to everyone who commented.
Also thanks to everyone who submitted questions for my next Q&A video: I will be filming my response on Monday.
Hello everyone: I will be filming another Q&A video soon. If there is a question you would like me to address, please write it below. With friendly greetings from the floodplains of the Rhine River, Samuel
London friends -- I have a premiere tonight: the Canadian violinist Jack Campbell, most assuredly a rising star, is premiering a new piece of mine for solo violin. Details here:

I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone who either increased an existing Patreon pledge, or decided to sign up since I posted yesterday. This is truly an incredible community. A number of you have asked if it is possible to set up a 'tip jar' for one-time donations: yes, this is possible -- here is the link:

Let’s turn this into a viable, ongoing platform, and see how far we can take it!
Greetings from Baden Württemberg,

Dear viewers, I will be direct: in order to keep producing my videos and podcasts, I need sponsors. I am losing money on every episode, and lack the financial headroom to continue this way for long. I have three new episodes already filmed, but no funds to edit them. If you’d like to help keep the channel going, consider contributing via Patreon (link below) -- or kindly point me towards anyone who may wish to sponsor an episode (or several).. gratefully, Samuel

My daughter’s been working on this peculiar drawing for some time now and won’t tell me what it represents. Any guesses?
