Chopin Competition preparation | Music Wide Open Podcast #15

A major piano competition can be a life-changing event. Many pianists dream of achieving a success that propels their careers forward and redefines their lives. However, to maximize one’s chances-despite all odds-almost bulletproof preparation is required: the kind where nothing is left to chance. In this episode, we open the door to our own lives and reveal what it took for Ingolf to prepare for the Chopin Competition, how meticulous he was, how he sustained the pressure, and what made his breakthrough possible. Following E01, "Let's Start with Why," this is the most personal episode in the Music Wide Open series. We hope this gives courage and strength to those of you who are sensitive musicians but may feel too fragile to succeed.
