 How many people out there can honestly say that they

Couldn't you get your teeth into a difficult piece of music without having
to wait for the next contest?  You are allowed to, you know!!

Isn't up to you, the musician, to provide the challenge to the public?
Music would never develop if  musicians and composers did not provide the
listening public with new challenges.  Lead, man, don't follow - it's your
duty!!

Best wishes
