    A piano concerto by a Chinese Committee,
    premiered by Jiang Qing, wife of Chairman Mao.

    The wonderful Yellow River Concerto! Only a few
    hundred miles downstream of the Warsaw Concerto.

    Who is/was the pianist? The pianist does not look
    at all like someone's "wife".

    TIA

    Mao's wife was holding the stick at the premier.

    Presumably she had some idea of what to do with it.
