In 2010, Alan Rusbridger, the editor of the Guardian, set himself
an almost impossible task: to learn, in the space of a year,
Chopin's Ballade No. 1 - a piece that inspires dread in many
professional pianists. His timing could have been better. The next
twelve months were to witness the Arab Spring, the Japanese
tsunami, the English riots, and the Guardian's breaking of both
WikiLeaks and the News of the World hacking scandal. In the midst
of this he carved out twenty minutes' practice a day - even if that
meant practising in a Libyan hotel in the middle of a revolution as
well as gaining insights and advice from an array of legendary
pianists, theorists, historians and neuroscientists, and even
occasionally from secretaries of state. But was he able to play the
piece in time?
