r u talking about the warsaw competition?

err.. how many international chopin competitions are going on this month?

I've been checking the web site, I guess I'll just have to wait. The suspence is killing me..  stuff like this matters to nerds like myself.

[jehangircama]

sorry, i've absolutely no idea when the competitions are. is there any place i can get the competition time table for the year?

[rohansahai]

Right now the preliminary elimination is going on. The main competition starts from the 2nd of Oct, and that will probably be webcasted.

Does anybody know if it is possible to see a webcast of the competition? I could not find anything on their web page.

I think Poland is 7 hours earlier (not sure, haven't checked) than USA EDT.
If I recall correctly they are past the middle of first round.

Two people that I know are in the competition.  Elizabeth Schumann, who seems to have been eliminated already (stupid judges!) and Dmitri Levkovich, who has not been eliminated.  Let's cheer for him.

I'm cheering for Rachel Kudo, who I saw along with Mei-Ting Sun, Esther Park, and Sean Kennard (all four of whom are in the competition). Kennard has already been eliminated (too bad... he's a really nice guy!). Mei-Ting has quite a lot of technique to spare, but I was a little disappointed with his playing (he did the 1st Ballade). I enjoyed Park's playing, and have little else to say about it.

Kudo's technique isn't particularly great, but she played an extremely musical Barcarolle (Op. 60), follwed by the last three etudes of Op. 25. Her octave etude had silky, flowing legato, and her winter wind was stunningly different from the usual "pound-away" approach most pianists take (not to criticize this method, but it was a big surprise to hear the "wind" as a whisper at times - I thought it worked very well). Her stamina seemed to flag a bit with the oceans etude, which wasn't as great as the other three pieces she played, but she's very musical and talented, and I hope she gets at least some recognition in this competition.

just saw a bit. i think it was ms Olga Kozlosova playing. i enjoyed it. she seemed to play with great feeling. lovely playing. though i guess you have to be something to play in that competition....
