<p>Mozar Tsang, male, 17</p><p>Chopin: Etude in A Minor, Op. 10, No. 2</p><p>I enjoyed your ability to achieve a certain degree of lightness while incorporating some changes in touch (deeper in one ascending scale, early on) that showed your search for variety and color.  I wish it would have sounded more "effortlessly" in order for the performance to be truly great. </p><p>Chopin: Nocturne in G Major, Op. 37, No. 2</p><p>I welcomed your selection as this nocturne is played less often than others in spite of its incredible beauty.  It is a challenge as it demands the sustainment of a cantilena melody in double notes.  Your performance was full of nuance and tenderness, with an appealing sense of rubato.<br /> </p><p>Prokofieff: Sonata No. 3, Op. 28</p><p>This was electrical playing which reminded me of Pogorelich’s performance of the Sonata No. 6.  Incisive when needed, dreamy in other places, full of details and attention to counterpoint, it kept me interested from beginning to end.  Bravo!</p><p>In sum: a major talent.  Try not give such a sense of hard work when you are playing.  You don't need to make such facial expressions to show the audience what the music is all about.  It speaks for itself!</p>
