Need Help with International Chopin Competition
on: August 18, 2004, 07:56:21 AM
I am now 16 and a half years old and I am planning to enroll in the International CHopin Competiton. I have won many major competitions and I am aiming to win this competition in the next two years because I want to beat Yundi Li at being the youngest ever to win the competition.

I wish that you will provide me information about this competition and if i am qualified enough.

Perhaps you should list your entire solo repertoire (I assume you know one or the other Chopin concerti.) This competition requires more than just Chopin pieces.

This is the wrong forum to ask this question. You need to talk to professional concert pianists and particularly coaches of professional concert pianists. I am always surprised at questions like these, because your teacher should be the one to guide you. If you can't get that kind of guidance from your teacher and you have the ambition to win a major competition such as the Intl. Chopin or the Van Cliburn, you must change your teacher.

Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
