Earlier, in 2018, Tran Bang Tam (7 years old) from Vietnam conquered the audience in the auditorium of the world's most famous theater in the world Carnegie Hall, won the first prize in the talent contest.
To receive a great prize in this competition, Quynh Anh participated with 2 works: Chapter 1 Sonata No. 16 KV.545 of W.A. Mozart and Gnomenreigen by Franz Liszt.
Gnomenreigen is quite difficult in terms of Quynh Anh’s age. Even in the world, only Umi Garrett - an American prodigy played this work at the age of 8. Gnomenreigen is not only difficult in the technique of combining the two hands when hitting quickly but also difficult because of the rhythm (6/8-9/8-2/4). But with the clear sound of the piano and professional techniques, Quynh Anh conquered the audience in the auditorium and the jury of the competition.
Tran Pham Quynh Anh is currently at 5th grade student of Vinschool. She started studying the piano at the age of 5. And the teacher who brought this girl to the passion of piano was Ms. Doan Hoang Khanh Linh - lecturer of the Vietnam National Academy of Music.
Quynh Anh is naturally gifted at piano. After only 6 months of studying, she participated in the Trinity Music Certificate (Initial level) and became the youngest contestant in Vietnam in 2019 to receive this certificate.
She also achieved many respectable achievements. At the age of 10, Quynh Anh has owned many domestic and international awards. In 2019, Quynh Anh won the first prize and young talent in the Salzburg Grand Prize Virtuoso 2020.
