Today, I finished CM Panel. It was short, and on a strangely tuned piano – “piano” became “mezzoforte” at the least. But it wasn’t nearly as bad as most people made it out to be. Sure, Panel works by elimination – out of the 126 people that tested, less than 20 will be given the award. It’s not the award that gives it meaning though, but the process. And it holds another significance for me as well: No more piano lessons (hopefully).

Those piano keys look longer than they should be.
