HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :comme:

surprised to see Ghindin in diz comp. I thought he was already reasonably well established.

Yes, strange! His rach first piano concerto was really stunning.

Mr. Wei-Jen Yuan, 24, USA

either he’s a traitor or tiz a typo.

indeed

and as usual, i am way the fuck wrong for these things:

Mr. Ran Dank, 25, Israel
Mr. Alexandre Moutouzkine, 27, Russia
Mr. Yaron Kohlberg, 24, Israel
Mr. Alexander Ghindin, 30, Russia

pozz:

1st ghindin
2nd moutouzkine
3rd kohlberg
4th dank

so rumor has it that ghindin is 45, not 30
