Can you figure out these Piano Puzzles?
Composer and pianist Bruce Adolphe takes a familiar tune – a popular song, a children’s tune, a Broadway hit or something from the classical repertoire – and rewrites it in the style of a classical composer, often using direct quotes from famous classical masterworks. Read more >>

Does anyone know what this pianist is up to these days.
I saw him play in Australia in 87, 89, 91 and he was hailed as one of the great pianists of the century....
Athens con at 8, Rach concertos at 11,  all over the world yada yada...... Where is he now?  :-/

Hi! I don't really know what Mr. Sgouros is doing at the moment, as far as concerts etc. go... but you can hear a lot of his recordings online. Some of them are quite recent! Here's the website: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/335/dimitris_sgouros.html    
If for some strange reason that doesn't work, go to www.mp3.com and search for "sgouros." My piano teacher seemed to think that Sgouros was rather short-lived... you know, brilliant for 5 years and then he just fizzled out. I don't know conclusively, though.

He gave it all up and became a lawyer last I heard.

I've also heard something like that, but I'm not shure..

I read an interview with him where he spoke about how he likes to party and "go to discos with beautiful women" so maybe he's burnt out now, or still spending all his time with women and drink?.....Grieg was the same way too.
