@MrYou2ber Yep that's what happened in the most recent competition. 1st place winner played Prokofiev's 2nd. One of the finalists, actually bottom of the finalists played the Rach 3

[MrYou2ber]

@cedricrlongreen Two words: Prokofiev's Second

[cedricrlongreen]

No wonder, Rachmaninoff's Concerto? The only way to beat that is if you play it crappy and someone plays an easier Concerto like a pro haha.

That was LONG before Olga Kern took first prize during 2001 Van Cliburn Piano Competition for doing Rach3.
