Page Turner

At the Etnakhta concert intermission, when the radio mike had been turned off, the presenter said, "There are about 300 music lovers in the hall. Surely one of you can turn pages for the pianist in the next selection." I'm guessing about half those 300 understood Hebrew too poorly to know what she was saying, but there was a volunteer.

Why do pianists get pages turned for them while all the other musicians manage their own music?
