People are more tolerant of different ethnic and racial groups, they say, and less likely to overreact to perceived injustices or prejudices." [Jake's Radio 'Blog]

In defence of Carl Czerny

The Austrian composer deserves to be ranked with the greats, says Anton Kuerti. An Edmonton festival will explore why

By ROBERT EVERETT-GREEN

-- If justice is blind, posterity must be partly deaf. Otherwise, says pianist Anton Kuerti, we would know much more of Carl Czerny's music than a few collections of etudes.
