Mystified why she was eliminated. Her Fantasy is one of the best I've heard from anyone: so imaginative, and with real pathos in the slower sections. Technique essentially flawless in that piece, in particular.

Sir Fryderyk Chopin is the pride of Poland! The whole country is very proud of him! 🇵🇱

[danielthonk]

3:06 that little nod reminds me of seong jin cho playing Chopin Prelude op 24 no. 28 just before the penultimate run, this is truly a wonderful pianist!

[dovesail]

Just love Sarah's interpretation, especially for her unique tone and naturalness.

[SoundHealer]

I’ve never heard Chopin like this. Amazing!!

[WatersNusantara]

My Favourite piece Etude Rev. 46 years ago, at Concert in TIMarzuki

[daffyduck]

OMG That's the best version I have heard of that "thirds" etude (A flat minor etude opus 25 #6).

[fulviojommelli]

Like study no. 1 op. 25, study no. 12 "Revolutionary" is the easiest of op. 10 because it adapts perfectly to the hand physiology, and therefore can be double-edged if you don't perform flawlessly.

[duduver]

The first etude have never been and will never be like that again unless another enchanting mermaid plays it

[miamargareta]

While listening the second stage becoming even more angry for her..Hope Sarah comes back next time showing the signs of the heavenly sky ❤️❤️❤️
