Congrats on your fine performances Hakki! May I ask which piece won you the special prize? I'm in awe of people who can play confidently in public. I get so very nervous with people around me (even people who don't understand classical music). What's the lower age limit for this competition?

Congrats again!

Hi hakki,

I watched both your videos.  Your playing is thoughtful, refined, and magisterial.  Congratulations on your special prize!

Congratulations Hakki!!!
This is mature and expressive playing of several Chopin selections, though
personally I prefer the 1st set.  Just wondering though, what particular
selection won the special prize?  Thanks for posting.
