SOME THOUGHTS...

Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition is one of the most major competitions in the world. It is famous for its high level and artistic status. By taking part in it, I can not only learn a lot from maestros and artists but also communicate with other pianists from all over the world. On the other hand, an all-free choice of repertoire does specially attract me so much. I think it makes such a good opportunity for the pianists to show themselves completely.
