An ode to music and craftsmanship, Ben Niles' documentary Note by Note details the painstaking craftsmanship required to produce one Steinway piano, from its origins in an Alaskan forest to its concert-hall debut. Charming interviews with the individual craftsmen involved in the production process, as well as pianists Lang Lang and Harry Connick Jr., provide a fascinating peek into the piano's essence. Stick around after the screening for a short performance by local pianist Richard Glazier, who tickles the ivories of the film's inanimate "star," the Steinway L1037.
