<p>LI Siqian</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>LI Siqian<br />Very exiting performance! Thank you very much for playing. Difficult program.<br />Etude good “speaking” fingers.<br />Nocturne Good! Pay attention sometimes to phrasing slurs. Nice &lt; /FONT&gt;touch.<br />And Liszt good fantasy. All the very best for the future.</p>
