They should not let this happen. Anyone under this situation cannot play well. All competitors must have prepared so hard before this competition and want to present their best on the stage. This was unfair to him. Although the jury chairman has offered him a chance to play again, he rejected.

He was supposed to start with Rachmaninov. That's what he chose to do and it was in the programme. But, as he was about to go on stage the announcer said he was going to play Tchaikovsky. This caused a little stir and some laughter in the audience and the announcer corrected his mistake by scrambling and saying something I presume like 'but first we will hear Rachmaninov'. But it was all in Russian so it was confusing. As far as An Tianxu was concerned, he heard Tchaikovsky first, then Rachmaninov. So have they switched? The conductor, standing beside An Tianxu, didn't help either as he just smiled and nodded his head, as if to offer reassurance, but there was no clarity. There was a seed of doubt planted in An Tianxu's head. There was a seed of doubt in my head. I wasn't sure which they were going to play first. And unfortunately, neither did An Tianxu. There should have been a moment of clarity here. The poor guy is about to play in the final of arguably the biggest piano competition in the world and his nerves and adrenaline must have already been sky high. You could tell by his demeanor that he was a little on edge, perhaps a little confused and need in of reassurance - 'not to worry, just as we rehearsed'. The conductor or one of the people in the wing should have clearly confirmed that the announcer had made a mistake and that it was to be Rach first. Hopefully, this incident will provide a silver lining and actually help his career.

Actually, something similar happened to Seong-Jin Cho at the 2011 Tchaikovsky Competition! Another Russian Conductor(Alexander Dmitriev), screwed up an important orchestral passage during the 1st movement of the Tchaikovsky Concerto. This threw off Cho's otherwise impeccable performance of the Tchaikovsky B minor Concerto. Cho came in 3rd. The eventual winner was Trifonov.

They simply should have stopped and express some apologizes to this brave man.

The paper schedule pinned on the back of the backstage door had not been updated, hence the announcer read it wrongly and announced Tchaikovsky. The pianist remained in doubt because: a) he himself hadn't been informed of the afternoon change either; and; b) there was the language barrier when the announcer corrected himself.

Yikes! I know it's a concert standard but even so, he handled it well as far as we got to hear.

What is the incident? was the pianist expecting to play a different piece to Rachmaninov’s Paganini rhapsody?

The employee did NOT put the wrong music on the stands and was not to blame. If that were the case, then the conductor and orchestra would have been the ones to start the wrong concerto. The announcer got it wrong (saying Tchaikovsky) then corrected himself (Rachmaninov). Rachmaninov was first - the running order had been changed from Tchaikovsky to Rachmaninov earlier that afternoon - and therefore all the music stands which had Rachmaninov were correct. The paper schedule pinned on the back of the backstage door had not been updated, hence the announcer read it wrongly and announced Tchaikovsky.

That meant not to loose Face! Bravo!

This is what you called "Lutang" In Filipino, Lutang means floating or afloat in English. In other actions, it is used buy people on themselves or others who were in a state of frivolity or their lack of organization

Can someone explain to me exactly what happen?was he supposed to play a different piece and he instantly reacted after a misunderstanding with the orchestra who played another piece?

Yes. That instant reaction is very impressive, actually!

I'm a bit baffled - he was going to play a different concerto? So why when the Orchestra started with this one did he actually play at all? Why not signal to the conductor that it was wrong? And did he just by chance happen to know this one as well?
