Colette Maze has been playing piano for more than a century, and is still drawing thousands of fans on social media. ManilaBulletin
Born in June 1914, before the outbreak of World War I and when one of her favourite composers, Claude Debussy, was still alive, the French pianist practices four hours a day and is about to release her seventh album, "108 Years of Piano".
Many are inspired by her continuing good health and refusal to give up the traditional French pleasures of wine, cheese and chocolate. She still remembers the sound of "Big Bertha", the huge cannon used by the German army during World War I, but most of her memories revolve around her instrument. "Piano is my life, my friend. I need to feel it and hear it," she adds, before offering a rendition of Debussy's "Reflections in the Water".
