                          ... not the celebrated Maestro Turini (who he? Ed.)

                              Gorn orfly quiet... Everyone at dinner, or a clue required?

                              One pianist left. The début in question was when the pianist was 13, with the Montréal Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven's 1st Piano Concerto...

                              So far it's between mercia, scb and fhg (who got the Q)...
