Yuja's Prok #2

[Klaus]

I'm not always a fan of hers, but this is the most insane version of one of my favorite and certainly the most epic cadenza in the whole piano repertoire.

The clarity and precision is just amazing. How is this even possible?

[Copper]

Lots of practice

[Horace]

That was good piano playing.

[Copper]

Yes, she is really good.

It seems more like an Olympic event than music.

How exactly do you score something like this.

Would you have judges, like figure skating, that would allow for opinion, not just technical merit?

Or would you simply use the slo-mo replay to she if she pushed all the right buttons at the right time? Would you have higher scores for keys way down at the ends of the keyboard? Would extra volume serve as a tie-breaker? Using all the pedals would certainly help.
