I don't fully understand the contest. I heard you made it to round two, but as I said, I don't know how it works. There were many very fine players. The level of competition is extremely high, It's a very difficult competition to judge. Personally I cannot pick a winner. Of course I love your playing. You are a great entertainer. You are moving beyond competitions such as this It would be nice to win, but if you don't it really doesn't matter. You can do many things that most of the participants cannot. I hope to see you sometime performing at the Blue Note in Waikiki.
I would very much appreciate a transaction. To me it is vitally important to hear Sumino Hayato’s opinions/report. I’m concerned He doesn’t look happy.
@@peterj6721 Thanks for posting this. I posted a comment in another post. I like that he uses the term "reproductive art." It's quit accurate. As for this contest, there were really many very fine performers. It's impossible for me to pick a winner. Winning contests such as this is really helpful for an individual performer's career. As for "Cateen," he's an established artist but mostly in Japan and of course on RU-vid. I think entertainment is where he excells. He understands it's not just about replicating antique music. I love Chopin's compositions, but playing Chopin is not being Chopin. Having the true creativity of Chopin is far beyond simply performing his compositions. I love Cateen's performances and RU-vid videos. That said, I don't think he will win the competition. There are just too many great competitors, and I think the politics of the competition are probably very important in deciding who is the alleged winner. "Cateen" should just do what he's doing now and forget about participating in these competitions. The organizers of the competition need him more than he needs them. Cateen is far more than just a replicator of previous art. If the contest was about who could really bring the most of their own personality to the competition, and not just faithfully replicate what Chopin already did, Cateen would win hands down. Who else would show up with a Melodica and a toy Kawai piano? Maybe the contest should be about who is really the most creative, not simply the one who allegedly has the most faithful interpretative replication among many fine and wonderful players from all over the world.
