No typo. 20 pianos or 40 hands. This was a live recording as there was applause at the end. This was probably for some big New Year's Eve concert event. But it was spectacular.

For the past few days I have been listening, over and over, to the C sharp minor string quartet, Opus 131.
A few days before the New Year, I saw the 2012 film, "A Late Quartet", an extremely enjoyable film about the trials and tribulations of a string quartet who are preparing for a performance of Beethoven's Opus
131. The music itself is heard throughout the film.

If anybody has Netflix the film is available to view (in the UK anyway).
