Piano man
Wayne McEvilly to improvise on Mozart's piano sonatas
Music
Stephen Carradini
Pianist Wayne McEvilly has studied Mozart’s 17 piano sonatas since 1945. He plays each one every week, year in and year out. So if he takes a few liberties with the material, he’s well within the bounds of expertise to do so. His skill level helps, as well.
