🤦 It's probably every musician's worst nightmare: imagine yourself sitting on stage ready to play a concerto and the orchestra begins to perform a completely different piece...😮 That's exactly what happened to the great Maria João Pires in 1999 when she stepped in to replace another pianist on short notice. In a formidable tour de force performance, Pires changed course and miraculously didn't miss a beat of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 (and not No. 23 like she had been expecting!) alongside

Maria João Pires A mais conceituada pianista portuguesa, @maria.joao.pires, viu-se confrontada pela orquestra Amsterdam Concertgebouw com um concerto de Mozart que não era o que tinha sido preparado. Do visível pânico inicial ao rasgo de génio, seguiu-se um grande recital. Em 1999, Pires se adaptou rapidamente à situação e, com uma performance que muitos consideram um verdadeiro milagre, não perdeu uma nota do Concerto para Piano nº 20 de Mozart (e não o nº 23, como ela esperava!), ao lado do ma

Casa de América - The Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires discusses her beginnings in music, starting when she was just three years old: "I needed something that would make me feel connected to another world that was not the material one". She explains that her job is "to understand the music." For those who are entering the field of classical music for the first time, the pianist recommends listening to different composers but also, different types of music beyond classical. Although she was b

It was every performer's worst nightmare when, at a 1999 concert in Amsterdam, famed pianist Maria João Pires realized the orchestra had started Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20. She instantly knew this was not the piece she had prepared, having practiced the previous year's repertoire by mistake. Pires recovered from her shock in seconds. With an audible gasp and a whispered cue, she relied on her prodigious talent and "muscle memory" to play the entire, unprepared concerto flawlessly. | History

İrem Çalışır on Instagram: "1999 yılında Amsterdam’daki Concertgebouw’da gerçekleşen bu olay, piyanist Maria João Pires’in son anda çağrıldığı bir konser sırasında yaşanmıştır. Telefon görüşmesindeki teknik bir aksaklık nedeniyle, programda yer alan Mozart konçertosundan farklı bir eseri hazırlayan Pires, sahnede orkestranın giriş müziği başladığı anda bu hatayı fark etmiştir. O, La majör K.488 Konçertosu’nu beklerken, orkestra Re minör K.466 Konçertosu ile başlamıştır. İlk anlarda yoğun bir pan

It is surely every musician’s darkest apprehension: to take one’s place at the piano, poised to perform a concerto—only to hear the orchestra begin an entirely different work. Such was the astonishing predicament faced by Maria João Pires in 1999, when she stepped in at short notice to replace an indisposed colleague. Expecting Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, she instead heard the opening bars of Piano Concerto No. 20. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. In a displ
