Congratulations! Presumably he'll specialise in playing Kapustin. :-)

Maybe in the future Timtin, but at the moment he will be practising the Music for Toy Piano by John Cage I would think.
Congrats to the other Tim on the new star of the future being entrusted to him.

Thank you both - we're over the moon! He's certainly got long fingers, which is a good start...

Cheers
