Spanish prosecutors are seeking a 20-month prison sentence for a professional pianist whose former neighbour is suing over alleged noise pollution.
Musician Laia Martin is on trial in Girona after her family’s downstairs neighbour, Sonia Bosom, accused her of causing psychological harm.
Prosecutors are also demanding that the 27-year-old be banned from professional piano playing for six months.
A verdict is expected within two weeks.
Ms Martin’s parents are also being sued and face a fine if found guilty.
Ms Bosom alleges that the pianist – a conservatoire student at the time – practised her piano for eight hours, five days a week from 2003-2007.
‘Piano horror’ The alleged victim said she now has such a horror of pianos, she cannot stand even seeing them in films, reports say.
