A circus. That’s the way Jessica described it. Think of it: fifty-seven Liszt-crazed adrenaline junkies, all competing against each other for ten thousand euros and a concert career. Attempt to allow only two and a half hours per day of practicing and you have pandemonium.
It would take a butcher knife to slice through the tension. For those like myself, day one sees the twenty minute round one fly by in a nanosecond. For others, a four day wait for the fleeting moment necessitates what must feel like superfluous practicing. If patience is a virtue, we are all much more virtuous.
Round one is over for me. Let’s just wait and see what happens.

Well…I think waiting is crappy. Does that make me virtue-less?
