Themeless #141

I’ve just come back from a really fun week at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, where my husband and I, plus some good friends (one of whom is an accomplished amateur pianist), got to geek out over some brilliant young people playing a lot of concertos. Because I’m not the kinda gal who whips up a themeless in seconds, you won’t find ARISTO SHAM in this puzzle, but don’t be shocked if there’s some piano content in the puzzle in about a month!

In the meantime, I made this puzzle a while ago but realized the seed entry was geographically a little too close to that of another themeless, so I spaced it out. Enough vague dancing around it — hope you enjoy solving!
