What we calibrate for cellists
Bach Suite-specific phrasing rubric
The Judge knows which Suite + Movement you're playing and tightens against the conventions that actually win: bow distribution, dance character, voice-leading on chord rolls.
Concerto-grade entrance scoring
First-page entrances of Dvorak / Elgar / Schumann / Saint-Saens are weighted higher because that's what the panel decides on. The Judge knows.
Endurance signal
Cello takes drift in tone over 30 seconds in a way violin takes don't. The Judge tracks consistency from m. 1 to m. final and flags fatigue patterns.
