And I quote
Music competitions are meant to identify the strongest young players and contribute to the establishment of their professional careers but are they necessary and do they really turn out the best performers ...
What do ya'll think about this? I'm not entirely decided, but I think it's sometimes the only way young musicians get heard by talent scounts (be they record labels or concert venues). The Sydney International Piano competition is unique because it flys audition winners here and pays them an living allowance. First prize winner is awarded cash AND concerts around the world.
