Some of you may remember that I've commented in various threads here how much I wish I had piano friends and casual opportunities to play for and/or with fri...

Animisha Isn't it possible to take a look at the venue anyway?

I don't know, actually. I've never been there, so I don't know if it's in a space that's open when not in use.... The concert I'm to play at isn't until the end of Nov, so I can try to find out.

Gosh Sam I don't think I could cope with that number of complaints. It is hard enough to find a comfortable venue with a nice piano.

Exactly!

@Sam 's post made me think "no good deed goes unpunished!" :/

Some venues you don't have an acoustic piano so have to settle with a portable keyboard. Sometime ago a group of musicians were playing Bach keyboard concerto in Dm (BWV1052) for a church fundraising event. The pianist got a Korg with weighted keys setup on a portable stand.

thepianoplayer416 I played the piano part of the first movement of the double violin concerto (BWV 1043) some years ago at our piano group. I knew I would mess up at some point but as it was easy to count I picked up a few bars later. I look back at that performance with some fondness.
