    I'm, once more, baffled by the amount of repertoire these pianists are expected to play during the competition.

    First round, 40-50 minutes of solo repertoire.
    Second round, 50-60 minutes of solo repertoire.
    Third round, two (!!) full piano concertos.

    I need many weeks of practice for a mediocre rendition of a 5 minute piece. How can these kids learn that much repertoire on that professional level? I find that really impressive.

        They are good at piano.

        Education is extremely important.

          They appear to be good at just about everything.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
