It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Why Katie Liu did not win the Chopin Competition


Honestly, I haven't had time to listen to the competition at all. But I just looked at the scoring records (thanks for the link).

Looks to me like Ms Liu didn't win because she didn't get high enough scores from enough of the judges. You can single out Martha Argerich if you like, but 6 other judges scored her below at 7 or lower. That's not a glowing endorsement from the panel.

In comparison, Mr Cho scored 9s and 10s from all but one judge, and Mr Richard-Hamelin scored 8-10 on most cards. The panel as a whole seemed pretty much in agreement that these were the two best performers in that round. That seems like consensus to me.

I hope I'll be able to listen to some of these performances, if my personal schedule lightens up.
