(Boy) Wondrous Fragments

From the comments on the Boy Wonder's Grade VII piano exam :

• Piece 1 : "A spirited account"
• Piece 2 : "A wide palette of tone and touch"
• Piece 3 : "Imaginative and authoritative"
• General : "A tremendous feel already for flexibility of pacing and variation of tone and touch. Hugely enjoyable."

From the (mostly illegible) comments on his EPTA competition performance :

• "Much to commend in your fearless energy throughout."

Imaginative and fearless. What more could a father hope for in his son ?
