The pianist will tonight be awarded the Lower Saxony State Prize, worth 35,000 Euros.
He will have to share it with the entrepreneur Edith Bischof, CEO of a bus company who has made it her mission to train long-term unemployed women as bus drivers.
Ding, ding.

What is wrong with SD ? Levit is not really sharing with a bus driver but with a CEO who wants to do good in the world.
The blog is losing credibility fast with these flash headlines
They should just immediately donate Levit’s half to Annalena Baerbock’s campaign and cut out the middleman.
Is this intelligent in any way? The award is not being shared with a bus driver. Or are we meant to sneer at unemployed women being trained as bus drivers?
The hunting of the snark has definitively reached home at Slipped Disc.
Yes!
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see!
IGOR LEVIT jumbled: GIVER TOIL.
Still SD, ‘twas a misleading headline.
This headline made it look as if Levit was donating part f his prize to a less fortunate person. In fact a jury determined the winners, and Levit and this lady were chosen. He had no agency in the disposition of the prize.
Beware, lest the next headline be made out as:
“IGOR LEVIT HAS NO AGENCY”
🙂
It would be more accurate than many others I have read.
I cannot understand why every prize that can be thrown at a musician is being thrown at Igor Levitt. The rewards of relentlessly self-serving “virtue signaling”? I wish he would subject himself to the same scrutiny he subjects everything else to.
not ‘ding, ding’, but ‘accelerator – break – accelerator – break’
