Ситуация во второй группе (номинация с 13 до 17 лет) была немного иная. Семен Гуревич - ярчайший скрипач из Петербурга, но в его игре были технологические погрешности. Мария Кузнецова, которая учится во Фьезоле (Италия), напротив, была идеально подготовлена, но уступала по музыкантским качествам. Поэтому мы разделили между ними второе место, не присуждая первое.
spelling Melnyk is more correct … played the older violin (dated by 1991) for already five months … Oistrakh competition was the first opportunity to play it myself in a big hall … started playing it because of pain in my hand (which, as you could have seen, are not enormous…) : the size of Melnyk's violin's necks are a bit more narrow than standard, and it resolved all my problems.
