The Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth enters its final phase on Wednesday, with six pianists — Davide Cabassi, Sa Chen, Chu-Fang Huang, Alexander Kobrin, Roberto Plano, and Joyce Yang — competing. This being the age of the Internets, you can watch live webcasts of the finals, and also follow some sharp debate on various blogs: the Cliburn's official blog, WRR Blog, the Well-Tempered Blog, and, in German, Thomas Vitzthum of Klassik.com, who writes ambiguously, "Fort Worth is not exactly the navel of the world."
