Today I was watching a competition for young pianists today and I got quite confused and mad.
Why are kids well below 18 years of age playing Liszt B minor Sonata, Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit, Szymanowski’s Op. 3 Variations… The list goes on and on.
I have seen in the past on a masterclass a 14 year-old playing Ravel’s Miroirs or Le Gibet from Gaspard de la Nuit.
