The candidates play with orchestra their concerto. We, the public, were asked to vote our choice. I won&#8217;t tell you mine but I can tell you my experience as a listener.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> As you know, when I listen to a performance the main thing I look for is the musicality. To me, that&#8217;s what makes the beauty of the music. Some people think that moving a lot, throwing the hair in the air, jumping up and down is &#8221;musicality&#8221;. But no!!!\u00a0 In order to hear really what comes out of their playing, I close my eyes to not get influenced by their body language. I want to hear what comes out of their heart.\u00a0 It is not a visual thing! Last year I played a concert and there was a blind woman in the public. She came to see me afterwards and her comments were different from other people.\u00a0 She said to me that she &#8221;saw&#8221; and &#8221;felt&#8221; the joy in my playing. Joy is a sincerity that comes directly from the heart.\u00a0 And tonight, I fully understood what she meant when I closed my eyes. I heard many emotions that I could not have perceived as well with my eyes opened.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Wow!\u00a0 Tonight will be the decisive night.\u00a0 I will make my own winners in my heart.\u00a0 But I am excited to see who the judges will choose.&#8221;<br \/> <\/em><em><br \/> Isabella<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.concoursmontreal.ca\/permanent\/en\/concours\/Isabella-Perron.asp\">About Isabella Perron<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Isabellainfo\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young violinist gives us her daily thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-classe-en"],"acf":[],"featured_media_src_url":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/isabella.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
