A probate judge delayed a three year old piano prodigy Margaret Rozarian Harris contract hearing until Sept. 18 after ruling a 40 percent managerial commission may be excessive.

Margaret has already debuted in a South Side auditorium and plays a wide classical repertoire aided by her absolute pitch. She requires a doll atop the piano before playing and has expressed a preference for classical pieces over boogie woogie.
