What I think about Ciurlionis contest (about two days)
I'm not professional organist and for me it's to difficult to say something about technical part of playing, to name stops. So I won't go to that terra incognita... I'd like to share my impressions
For me it was quite new experience. I didn't see contests like that before. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to listen organ music for a few hours attentively.
I heared pieces played a lot of times. But they were played by different musicians. So each time same piece sounded in different way. And it was not only because of registration. Also because of different level of musicians and their vision of piece. I think level of organists was quite high.
This contest didn't avoid accidents. In the last piece something happened with organ. One note stucked (didn't stop to sound). As I heared it didn't disturb participant too much (I hope). Also one little disturb - someone started to unpack candie... It disturbed me a little. And one person was using computer (I don't judge him)... that sound of mouse... (it was just first day and second day this situation was better 🙂). Also someone started to talk during piece. Everyone started to stare to him.
One thing that I liked the most - I met some people that I know. It was interesting to discuss about participants, share favorites. I hope I'll be friend with that organist 🤗

These days we find it hard to concentrate on one thing because there are so many distractions. Many can't even watch TV without scrolling on their phones.
Oh yes... So true! I can say that about myself... haha 😅

The first night I used the computer mouse but the 2nd night I didn't to make it easier on the others. I think every organist should come here and write down what they hear.
Good! I agree with you
