Welcome to "The Great Pianists" - The Finals
It has taken 4 Semi-Finals to reach this point - 100 pianists started out and now only 20 remain

The Format -
Four separate groups titled A, B, C, and D of 20 pianists each competed in 4 Semi-Final rounds with the top five then advancing to this Final round of 20 pianists.
The Rules -
1.) You may vote once per calendar day.
2.) You have a total of 20 points to distribute per entry with a maximum of 5 per individual violinist.
3.) Play will end with the first pianist to reach 100 points.
