Friederike Starkloff: "The Prokofjev Sonata, which I played in the semi-final round, is awesome music, but after those thirty minutes it was tough to keep going."
Right after the semi-final round Friederike Starkloff from Germany tells she is happy with her performance. In the morning she didn't feel like eating much, so she was getting hungry and food was the number one thing on her mind. Friederike Starkloff enjoyed the excitement radiating from the audience. In between the first and the second round she had walked around downtown Helsinki, and she had also taken a sauna bath. Now she owes a phone call to her mother, who had already texted her wondering about how the second round session had gone. (Interview Tatu Tamminen Video Sandra Saulo)
