Gustavo Romero grew up without a piano in his home, but his talents were quickly discovered.
Gustavo Romero, 40, grew up in a non-musical family. But a neighbor's piano was his entry to the world of performance. He tells Fred Child about his early days and plays selections from Enrique Granados and Federico Mompou in NPR's Studio 4A.
