Damn I was wondering what Cho was gonna play... Seeing that he'd already played the Second Sonata in the second round

And you mean Stage III*

Holy sh-t how often are you on this thing?
Do you have friends?
Or is it just cause today is Columbus Day? (Which we liberal vegan Californians don't have cause Columbus was an imperialist idiot who brought all of the evils of colonialism to the U.S.)

17, 24, 30, 33, 41, 50, 56, 59

GREAT sets
If Cho plays op. 56, I will be like YASSSSSS

btw Chi Ho Han is a pretty shallow player tbh...  I didn't even think he should've passed the qualifier. I'm surprised he got into the 3rd round, which is when all the "heavyweight" pieces are played

Cho's doing 33. He wants to save time cause here's his program:

Preludes
Mazurkas Op. 33
 The Whole Friggen Scherzo # 2

And I don't think anyone's doing Op. 41, 50, or 56. Last time I checked.

Op.56 is some of Chopin's most special writing ever.

Yeah Trifonov's performance of those is so beautiful. Li blew me away with that mazurka as well. He would be in the third round right now if he didnt withdraw
