Every year, it gets a bit harder to use the portkey from the Irish Ministry to come to England, and then to step on the train. Because I be in so deep now, I'll never get my life ba I came in fourth in the Chopin concerto competition in London, which was incredibly disappointing, considering that I won it when I was ten, but I did place second in the Liszt recitals, which, given that I had to teach myself the Second Rhapsody, that had been a nice result, yeah? Though it's hard to lie, to lie and lie and all I seem to do is lie, about what I'm up to during the school year. It makes it harder. To step on the train.

God, I hate it here.


I need to speak to the Headmistress about switching the transfiguration of my piano from a Steinway to a Baldwin; I played on the most magnificent Baldwin in Prague, I nearly felt compelled to hug it after I played upon it each time. I wonder how that will alter the spell?

Fourth is rubbish, actually, I don't think I've been so humiliated before. But what did I expect, picking up an etude like that. Oh well.

Chopin and Lizst are two piano composers - brilliant, brilliant musicians. So one competition, you had to play a work by Chopin, the other Liszt. Many competitions are open to composer, it just depends. I love both of them though, I think they are wicked gorgeous pieces.

You should not feel humiliated. It's still an accomplishment!

Oh, I see!

That's very kind of you to say, Neville. Thank you. Still's bollo

Liszt and Chopin, they're only the tip of the iceberg. Grieg, Tschaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Solgji, Beethoven - oh, they are all so wonderful!
