Inconvenient Piano Delights Ottoman Sultan
Leopold de Meyer, famed pianist of Dresden, once traveled to Constantinople to perform for the sultan. He borrowed an Austrian secretary’s grand piano, set it in a palace room, and, startled by the three‑legged instrument, played squat cross‑legged on a mat without pedals. The sultan was pleased and tipped over $5,000 as a “backsheosh.”
