  1. apologies for not commenting about Aimi and not expressing sadness. Maria Machowska (concertmaster) took my breath away.

  2. I spontaneously started crying when she began to play. Scrolled down after and saw I wasn't alone. Good to know. The arduous achievement these players attain is like having my soul fed when experiencing it.

  3. 4th place??!! The travesty of all time. By far the most gifted and what a stellar interpretation

  4. not a fan of the almost swallowed note at 5:44 . I wonder if it was on purpose or a mistake by a too soft touch.

  5. And this performance came fourth in the competition?! That's either an extraordinary compliment to the top three or the kind of result that has you questioning the criteria of competition judging. I myself have always loved the vulnerability in Chopin's work. Her tempo/touch interpretation worked exquisitely for me. Brava Aimi.

  6. I adore the memory of the Artist, efforts and passion brought to this performace, really admiring

  7. Why pianist always have to make stupid A#$@! faces when they play? I don't get it lol….

  8. Big congratulations to Aimi and Kyohei on your marriage!!!!!! They got married and they’re expecting!!!!!!!!!!

  9. 小林さん、反田さん、ご結婚おめでとうございます!

    これからも二人を応援してます📣

  10. ご結婚おめでとうございます! 愛美さんのこれからの活躍を本当に楽しみにしています!
