<p>JI Yusen</p><p>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. An d 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.</p><p>JI Yusen<br />I was impressed so much of 12 year old pianist. Very good and big potential for the future.<br />Chopin Etude op.10#1 <br />Should be more legato in left hand as well as in the right. Good fingers, may be need more preciseness.<br />Nocturne. Also you tried to make rubato, try it &lt; FONT size=4&gt;more naturally. It sometimes sounds little metric. And also difficult to find good balance between long notes in right hand and left eight’s notes.<br />Debussy.<br />Need to be more exactly and precise. Not very accurate. And could be more refined in sound. Especially sarabande. But I am expecting too much of young boy. Good luck. I am sure in near future you will be good pianist.</p>
