Failed again.

[alexwinolj]

That is, once again the judges failed to recognise true genius ;-)

They did put on a fine gala dinner last night. Good food, good music, good company--it's been worth coming to Shepparton, even if it didn't turn out quite as planned.

Commiserations on their failure.

[halfflat]

Bah, you will show them! Show them once and for all!

In the meantime, a real shame. At least Ligeti got a showing!

[acmarita]

What a shame that mob can't find any decent judges. It's so kind of you to keep giving them extra chances.

Glad the music, food and company were good.

[davidcook]

Ah well, it's their loss !

Glad you had fun anyway :)

Boo hiss! Sorry to hear this. halfflat is right about Ligeti, though.

Glad you managed to extract some enjoyment from the trip.

[haloumi]

Boo, hiss!

Of course, the great thing about Ligeti is that you can play the same piece and punish the people who don't like it while rewarding the people that do - there is no middle ground.

Commiserations!

A nice concept--but one of the most bizarre outcomes is that the judges did seem to find a middle ground. They told me that they found the Ligeti interesting, and admired me for playing such obviously difficult music, but they thought (to my amazement) that I didn't play it very well. Allegedly it lacked clarity and was confusing to listen to (!)
