Good luck to the girl. She has chosen the finest of instruments and an early enough age to scare the maestros. If she needs a push, get her to look at Harriet Bartlett's site. She is a truly awesome player, and just a few days over seventeen years old.

Us old blokes might as well give up as compete with these young geniuses (genii?), but it is such a pleasure to hear brilliant young players expanding the horizons of this incredible instrument.

All power to them
