"Are you saying that the more exposure I have to all music, not just this piece or timbre, the more "mature" of a musician I'll be?"
Yes.
FWIW, I grew up in Ohio, and performed the first movement of the Poulenc my senior year. (At that time there was no state contest and memorization was just not necessary.) Other years I played the following: 9th grade-Mozart Concerto/first movement with cuts, 10th grade-Brahms 2nd/first movement, 11th grade-Weber 1st Concerto/first movement. I got 1's each time. (Well, ok, in 9th grade the judge put "1-" because I clearly wasn't ready for it but at the same time didn't completely not earn a 1.)
