DId any of you guys see it last night?  There was a 13-year-old named Agape Chen who played a very famous piece in the round right before the finals, and i am having the most difficult time finding out what the name of it was!  if anyone could help, i'd GREATLY appreciate it!

Hey,

I did not see it, but heard of it. This little prodigy was playing part of Chopin's fantasy impromptu (only the hardest part to show off the technique) and a part of a Grieg concerto.
It was awful, that kid only played the most diffucult extracts of well-known pieces and yet  beated the other contestants. very strange...

I didn't see it either, but I heard the concerto he played by Grieg was the one in A minor.

it was a she ...
and she neither played it well nor did it look good (she moved around like she's exaggerating).

what a she??

ooookkkkaaayyy...


exaggerating? well, if you saw cecille licad you'd say she's more of dancing than playing the piano.

but still she's so good! she played with the orchestra at age 6!
