Murmurs and excited discussions continued to emerge from the crowd and the juries discussed for themselves before looking at the unperturbed Raya.
"The moment I saw this transcription, I immediately took my violin and sight read the piece… I will tell you this is extremely hard even for me…" One of the juries told the other.
"We all did that and so we have all the idea of how hard it is, but since this was the piece she chose… we have to give her a chance."
"Alright then… we will be recording her performance anyways.
Soon the judges appeared to have reached a consensus.
"Well then student Raya, whenever you are ready."
The judges prepared the music sheets in their hands to be ready to scrutinize Raya's performance to the last note.
