A pianist (/ˈpiːənᵻst/ PEE-ə-nist, /ˈpjænᵻst/ PYAN-ist) is an individual musician who plays the piano. Most forms of Western music can make use of the piano. Consequently, pianists have a wide variety of repertoire and styles to choose from, including traditionally classical music, jazz, blues and all sorts of popular music, including rock music. Most pianists can, to a certain extent, play other keyboard-related instruments such as the synthesizer, harpsichord, celesta and the organ.
Modern classical pianists dedicate their careers to performing, recording, teaching, researching as well as learning new works/expanding their repertoire. They generally do not write or transcribe music as pianists did in the 19th century. Some classical pianists might specialize in accompaniment and chamber music while others (relatively few) will perform as full-time piano soloists.
Mozart could be considered the first "concert pianist" as he performed widely on the piano. Composers Beethoven and Clementi from the classical era were also famed for their playing, as were, from the romantic era, Liszt, Brahms, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Rachmaninoff. From that era, leading performers less known as composers were Clara Schumann and Hans von Bûlow. However, as we do not have modern audio recordings of most of these pianists, we rely mainly on written commentary to give us an account of their technique and style.
A pianist is one who plays the piano.

Adrien Brody (born April 14, 1973) is an American actor. He received widespread recognition and acclaim after starring in Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor at age 29, making him the youngest actor to win in that category. Brody is also the only male American actor to receive the French César Award.
Brody was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York, the son of Sylvia Plachy, a photographer, and Elliot Brody, a retired history professor and painter. Brody's father is of Polish Jewish descent; Brody's mother – who was raised as a Catholic – was born in Budapest, Hungary, the daughter of a Catholic Hungarian aristocrat father and a Czech Jewish mother. Brody was raised "without a strong connection" to Judaism or Catholicism.
As a child, Brody performed magic shows at children's birthday parties as "The Amazing Adrien". He attended the I.S. 145 Joseph Pulitzer middle school and New York's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. His parents enrolled him in acting classes to distance him from the dangerous children with whom he associated. He attended summer camp at Long Lake Camp for the Arts in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Brody attended Stony Brook University before transferring to Queens College for a semester.

This is as pure as it gets. The Joy of life is on display as you can feel and see the Spirit of this young man as he puts his whole being into his Music. This young Man is 5 years old.We are capable of great things if we only believed we were. Hats off to the Parents of this Chinese Phenom who I am sure we will be hearing from musically for a long time to come. He doesn't understand limitations that are taught and learned over years of indoctrination to a technological world that has Forgotten how to be Alive. This is awesome and even Motivational, hope springs eternal. Enjoy.

Ok go, go hang your heart on any tree
You can make yourself available to anybody,
cause every living person knows you are a prize,
Whichever way you go I'll be easy to find,
I dont ask for much just be honest with me 2x
Think of this song as a promise,
you can do what you want
If you decide you wanna move into a new stage,
deleting me from pages in your mission statement,
My love is unconditional make no mistake,
i don't ask for much just be honest with me 2x
Who we are what love is what it wants to be,
We are free and we are having the best day ever by far,
Being treated to the light like a superstar
I can hold space while you see what your heart has to say about me
I acknowledge you for what you do to keep strong,
Theres no dotted line to sign away freedom
I'll always stand beside you, don't get me wrong
I don't ask for much just be honest with me
Who we are when love is what it wants to be
We are free and we are having the best day ever by far,
Being treated to the light like a superstar
If I misscommunicated I apologies,
If the picture that I painted wasn't very nice,
My love is standing by you whatever you decide
I don't ask for much just be honest with me 2x
Who we are when love is what it wants to be,
We are free and we are having the best day ever by far
