Competition Failure

A clip from the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition where a pianist tries unsuccessfully to start a Chopin etude as the judges basically let him know his time is up.

The title of this post should be kinder. This man is not a failure. Anyone who devotes his life to art is far from a failure. Stage fright can be debilitating. It can cause sudden memory loss and self-sabotage of the most troubling degree. These traumatic incidents tend to reinforce the fear, and the problem self-perpetuates. I know. I have been there, at the very highest level. I hope this young man took some time off then worked his way through it.

@2pacAmazesSuperman but i bet he could call this a piece, not a song.

@McRat1968 the fool sees himself wise in his own eyes! of course you feel youre right! any man with an ounce of self confidence can feel justified in his argument. the common denominator among all racists is THEY THINK THEIR RACIAL OPINIONS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH FACT. your education means next to nothing if you dont own anything. educated people with degrees are homeless because of downsizing. you most likely are a bitter unaccomplished pessimistic pianist, seeing only the negatives of reality.

Wrong again, misguided child.

I'm not full of anger towards black people--or towards anyone else, for that matter.

I simply state what is true--and you can't handle that fact because you're uneducated and you have no leg to stand on in an intelligent debate. (So, instead of acknowledging that fact, you choose to, instead, label me racist. Which, like everything else you've said from the beginning, is wrong.)

You're done.
