<p>PAN Linzi<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 />PAN Linzi<br />Very nice performance. <br />Nocturne. Nice, dramatic, good feeling. Little too equal phrasing and touch in the beginning.<br />Etude Very nice, elegant playing. Could I suggest to find more interesting touch sometimes, not too&lt; /FONT&gt; loud.<br />Liszt Ballade h-moll<br />Also very thoughtful performance. Good balance and contrast of different episodes.<br />Best wishes for the future and good luck.</p>
