Что-то происходит в области классической музыки, особенно в фортепианном исполнении
.
Вот комментарий с локального(!) конкурса одного американского преподавателя:
I just returned from two weekends of local piano competition for students, and I have done some reflection.
1) A 7-year-old girl, whose hands can't reach an octave, played Balakirev's "The Lark" beautifully (without the octaves).
2) In the 11-year-old category, four students played works by Liszt, including "La Campanella" and "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6."
3) Several 8-year-old students played Copland's "The Cat and the Mouse." In fact, this piece was played by numerous students at different age levels (including three students in a row!).
4) A 14-year-old boy played Barber's Sonata, 1st movement. It was fantastic.
5) In terms of the adjudication, I found some evidence of racism. But, to my surprise, I also found one example of reverse-racism.
6) The overall playing level (in the competitive categories) has become insane. I'm thinking about switching all of my students to the lower, less-competitive categories.
7) What drugs do teachers/parents give these little geniuses??? The bar is set higher every single year.
