Ok, I will write a little bit. But I can not mention my former school anymore, got some bad feedback after my last entries that I promptly removed. And for those sceptics out there, I don't write this blog for attention of anything, but I know I enjoy reading other peoples blogs as well.

Tomorrow I will go to Brussels for the day, to enter the Queen Elisabeth. I can only go for the day, since I have to be in the hospital on thursday morning. That evening I have another try-out of the first round program and then on friday is the drawing of the lots. There are only 144 candidates as of now, participating and the grand total of 24 will make it in the next round. Friday evening we will hear which movement of Bach sonata and Dvorak Concerto we are playing in the first round. However they will not tell us which Paganini Caprice untill 30 minutes before we go on stage. That I find pretty nerve racking, I like knowing what is going on. Depending on which Paganini they ask, I might change my order. But such is life at the "QEC" (why does this sound like some Atlantic Cruiseliner?)
Mr. Weilerstein was kind enough to teach me in Boston and I once again made some incredible discoveries during the lessons, my practice has improved a lot because of it.
Anyways, I will try to keep people posted. Or you can follow the competition at http://www.imkeb.be

Carla, I'm so glad to hear from you again. I always enjoy reading your posts and I wondered why you had disappeared. I'm sorry that you got negative feedback on your blog. I love your blog and I'm sure others do, too.

That competition sounds like hell. I admire your courage for going through it. I wish you good results in your competition and in your hospital visit.

Are there any really good French readers here? I went to the radio station links from the competition page. I'd really like to hear the broadcasts but have no idea where to start looking.

I will post a link to the broadcasting of the competition on internet, when I find out what it is. But I think it will only be on internet from the second round on...
