What if the mistakes you make while playing the piano could lead to something extraordinary? Yamaha is challenging pianists around the world to embrace their “uh-oh” moments, proving that the beauty of music lies not in perfection, but in the passion and joy behind every note—mistakes included.
Enter the “Knock Turn” campaign, an inspiring global initiative that showcases the magical power of imperfections. Featuring an original piece titled “A Nocturne of Endearing Errors,” the music is a mosaic of mishaps from over 40 pianists, collected through “Piano Diary” app (using Yamaha’s advanced technology) all woven together to form a captivating symphony. This new piece of music is called “Knock Turn Op.9-2” arranged by composer, Kunio Matsuzaki.
