I'm not too keen on competitions, while agreeing with much of what you are saying. Cateen was probably the most Chopin like person in the most recent competition; however he was eliminated in the next to the final round. The fact is the competition is too limiting for a musician of Cateen's caliber. The contest has no improvisational or compositional component. Competitions seems to be designed in large part for high quality parrots. I don't think Yuja entered any high level competitions, yet she is absolutely outstanding for several reasons other than having won some specific competition.
Always clear, thoughtful and pithy. Thanks Jeewon!
Thank you so much for watching this less popular video. 😅 You are so kind.
