hmm the second prize was not awarded b/c there were two thrid place winners

This piece is supposed to be played fast and light. Honestly though, I would love this piece even better if it was played slowly and expressivly.

Hello, let's see the fan site on Rafal Blechacz (winner or the 15th International Chopin Piano Competition) : rafalpianist.ifrance. com

That's why it was named by Chopin "Petit Chien", which means "Little Dog". The "Minute" name came later: the publishers named it like that...
He won first prize and all the specialty awards in the 2005 Int'l. Chopin Competition. The second prize was not awarded for the very reason that he completely blew everyone else out of the water. The judges felt a second prize winner just wasn't deserved of this master.
It's even more ironic that he's a descendant of Chopin. His greatest nephew, I think, like, 5th-generation nephew...

FYI: Chopin wrote this waltz watching George Sand's dog chasing his tail. This is an excellent performance, technically perfect with a light touch(which is very hard). Great talent.
