Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.

That's awesome to hear! Staying locked in with pulse and playing cleanly are such important fundamentals, sounds like you're building great habits.

Very good playing, especially for your age - 14?
A little bit of rushing here and there - did you use the metronome?  The sooner you learn how to use the metronome the better.  It really helps with baroque and classical music, as well as 20th century.  I learned to use it late in life - if I had started earlier, I'm sure I would have been a concert pianist (haha).

Once you've gone through the challenging metronome phase, you'll find you have a lot more control over your phrasing, which you're clearly thinking about but can't always pull of with finesse.
