After watching "Best in Show", Ryo, Akiko and I had a brilliant idea of making a parallel mockumentary of the piano competition-circuit. Examine the stereotypical possibilities:
The Korean chick from Juilliard: Spouting random babbles of "unyee" and listening only to fervent k-pop in competition lobbies on her disc-man while studying her score of Beethoven's Opus. 109.
The Russian chick from Moscow: speaking rudely in thick russian accents and drinking endless amounts of triple-shotted espressos.
The White stoner from USC: Constantly under the influence and immensely talented with little or no work ethic.
The Chinese boy with his mother: Only able to put one foot forward in front of the other with the permission of his domineering and competitively driven insano mother.
The Fogi competition veteran: A long-time veteran and 12-time 2nd place winner of numerous competitions, the veteran can be of any race, but is usually scarred from years of 2nd place prizes.
The Curtis kid: See "Chinese boy with his mother", but add the knowledge and perfection of all the Chopin Etudes. Generally, has never heard the names "Tupac Shakur" or "George Bush", unless either of the two, at some point, had a distant relation to Vladimir Horowitz.
Inspired simultaneously and erratically by the blog thoughts of both Stanley Lee and Ned Rorem.
