<p>ZHANG Yunling<br />First of all I must point on the very high level of all pianists. Very good quality of playing. Every pianist shows his/her own style and understanding of what is performing. Sometimes it is hard to rank all in one line, because it is music, it is art. And it is not always possible to decide this is better and this is worse. In some performance one side is better another side is worse. So all decision are relative. And I would suggest all contestants accept the judgment as statement only for today and may be for the past, but willing work hard for future and improving their art.<br />And many thanks for participating, and for giving me a pleasure to listen for theirs interesting interpretations.<br />ZHANG Yunling<br />Etude Very good! I would suggest to try to make more legato both in the right and left hand.<br />Nocturne Also very nice. Middle section for me is little too fast. Though it is technically very good, the left hand should speak.<br />Scherzo Very good fingers. Nice feeling. But in such a quick tempo it is not possible to intonate every notes, it is still Chopin’s melody!<br />And middle section you should find natural moving, tempo. Consider that you make stop every 3rd quarter of each bar and prepare next bar which is separate it, and you otherwise should connect the whole phrase.<br />A all the very best, you have a very good equipment to make MUSIC!<br />Thank you!</p>
