Pianist Panics As Orchestra Starts Wrong Concerto [VIDEO]

In an industrty that takes itself pretty serioulsy, Maria João Pires is a seriously big deal. Classical piano is an earnest, time-honoured tradition. And like any classical pianist, Maria wanted to get off on the right foot when she played at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. She was supposed to be playing a Mozart Concerto, only to hear the orchestra start playing a totally different Mozart concerto – no 20 in D minor.

You must understand that in the classical music industry, this is the equivalent of falling down the runway. Or a going out for a golden duck.
