Talk:Sydney International Piano Competition

Recent edits to the lead
Despite what SIPCA says:


 * the competition does NOT "consist[s] of five stages and an opening recital". The opening recital is simply a nice way of opening proceedings, and having a sort of continuity from the previous winner, but it plays absolutely no part in the competition proper


 * the first stage does NOT "involve[s] world-wide auditions to locate the best pianists". That search takes place BEFORE the competition starts, obviously.  How could any stage involving a world-wide search take place at the Seymour Centre (not Center, btw) - unless they’re sitting in the Seymour Centre and “searching” on the internet or something.  They’re obviously talking about a different sort of step in the overall process, and they should have used a less ambiguous expression.

The previous lead was much better than what we have now, so I’m going to restore it. -- JackofOz (talk) 01:08, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The opening recital is part of the competition, and I ask that we at least collaborate together to clean it up a little. Qst (talk) 13:36, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Jury members
I've just discovered the complete jury details up to 2004 in the program booklet for the 2004 competition, which I attended. This has enabled me to fill in all the gaps, and fix some errors. Perhaps the most obvious change is that Warren Thomson did not become Chairman of the Jury until 1992, and his only previous involvement in the jury was in 1988, as an ordinary member. Rex Hobcroft was chairman for the first 4 comps 1977-1988.

If this data can be sourced online, so much the better, but what I found in hard copy is better than nothing. --  Jack of Oz   [Talk]  02:28, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
