review of a piano concert
Ohne eine sichtbare Erschöpfung bot das Duo dan drei Zugaben, darunter eine bezaubernde, den ersten Spanischen Tanz von Manuel da la Falla und eine absolut überhastete, die Paganini-Variationen von Witold Lutoslawski. Die glanzvolle Musik verwandelt in eine Glanznummer - verführerisch und gefährlich.

piece de resistance (with an accent over the "e" in "piece"
It is an expression from the French but it is used in English. Unfortunately my IPad doesn't have accents...I do apologize.
It is a highlight, a spectacular Performance, the best part of something.

: On my Kindle, you just press and hold the "e" to get the accented character. Isn't it the same with the iPad?
