It's important to know that McDonald and a few other veteran pianists have always been extremely demanding of the younger generation.
The subtle variations in rhythm just now went unnoticed by everyone present, but McDonald not only noticed, he pointed it out, demonstrating his seriousness about the art.
Even though he had heard this piece countless times, he still listened attentively this time, without the slightest slack.
Trinov immediately bowed slightly and said to McDonald, "Thank you for the guidance, senior. I will certainly continue to work hard, and the next time I play, I will definitely perform a perfect piece!"
McDonald nodded slightly. Trinov's current performance was excellent. Regardless of how he handled other matters, his attitude towards art was impeccable.
Ranked fourth himself and Trinov eighth, he could still display humility like a junior, which was truly commendable.
