@oboereed1109 Do you any other movies about the Amateur pianist competition? I know there are some others on the other competitions but I can't seem to find them.
I have watched "They Came to Play" on Netflix now about 10 times. Every time I watch it, I am filled with such joy watching all the wonderful pianists. Drew Mays is such an extraordinary pianist, but I also loved watching his interaction with his wife and children. I hope I get to hear him play live sometime!
Drew, I saw the documentary of the Van Cliburn competition on Netflix last night, and got totally caught up in it. I was so touched by your family, your humility, your talent, and your smile! When you won, I screamed out loud and teared up. May your life continue to be full of blessings; you have surely blessed me.
Sheer exuberance and a feeling of being in love and wanting to jump for joy with the love of music, you've got it so right!! Thanks, I enjoyed it tremendously. good luck in your career!!

Haha, I love how this guy plays with surgical precision - certainly a carryover from his major profession.

Well done ! Schumann supposedly considered this piece "unplayable". It doesn't appear to have been much of a problem for you. Bravo !

Compared to Levin's performance, I actually prefer this. More phrasing, and more musical I think, although not quite as technically accomplished.
