Thank you, Auke. I appreciate your response to what I wrote above. It is very discouraging to take the time, as I did, to write a thoughtful and appreciative analysis of other people's music only to have my words go not just without a response, but without an acknowledgement of any kind. It happens to me too often. I think, if I participate in the contest in the future, I will stick to just voting for the top three (or not). Thank you for treating me with professional respect and courtesy.

It's probably not only human nature for you, but could quite probably be a language thing as well. English is not my native language, and the same goes for more participants in the contest. As such it takes often a bit of time to express myself in English, even after all those years writing for my website and on Steem/Hive.
Lack of response is perhaps a loss of words as well to express oneself properly in a difficult language as English (imagine you had to write your comment in Lithuanian or in Dutch... 😃 )
That's a good point. Whether or not it's true I don't know (and, all things considered, I suppose it doesn't really matter either way), but it is a fair criticism.
For me English is not native language like for Partitura. So sometimes it is difficult to write an answer or even to understand a comment (espaecially when there are a lot of specifical words). It is nice to see your comments about my playing. Thank you!
