* This contestant performed in the Preliminary and Final rounds on a 9-foot Yamaha concert grand piano that includes the Disklavier Pro record and playback system. During the recording process, a Standard MIDI File was created.

If you have a Disklavier piano, you may download these files to a floppy disk and play them on your Disklavier. Although these files are intended to be played on a 9-foot Disklavier that has the Pro system, you may enjoy these files on any Disklavier piano that supports Standard MIDI files. Playback is possible on other MIDI devices, but it will not be as acurate or as expressive. In the case of electronic playback devices, the piano sound will be inferior to that of a real piano. Playback on other MIDI devices is not recommended.
