<p>ZHANG Ruixue<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 Ruixue<br />Very well played. Formally is very correct and very good basis for future developing, progress. Try to make all music as you composed it, make it the part of your life, of yourself and perform as an actress in the theatre. Music is not notes only; it is something between, beyond. Nobody will explain correctly&lt; FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman"&gt;, just you can feel it. So good luck for the future. <br />Nocturne might be little quieter.<br />Etude is very god, may be little too loud.<br />And Liszt SPANISH! More Spanish spirit! Make theatre!<br />Many thanks for playing and good luck!</p>
