China is changing: grandiose architectural projects, artistic experiments, colossal investments. The ambitions of the Chinese are less modest and their motivations to "make it" have affected every walk of life. And what about their infatuation with the piano? The piano can only flourish in a society where the middle class is sufficiently wealthy, large and receptive to the notion of individual pleasures. Fou Ts'ong was the first Chinese pianist to receive international recognition. Today the piano has become a token of the future for children: only child, child prodigy! But these youngsters don't study the piano merely to rise above their station. They also have great sensibility, amazing talent and lots of imagination.
