Above is an extract of the ABRSM examination mark form that I had received a long time ago.
Since I am not a native, I could hardly read the examiner's handwriting. (But he's a nice examiner!)

I've tried to look up the word in a dictionary but still I didn't know what the word is.
Does anyone kind enough to tell me what the underlined word is?
I could only see that the underlined word seems to start with 'c' and end with 'ing'.

Thank you very much.

Wow, I can't read it all either. At first I thought it was "common" but that doesn't seem to fit at all, and it does look like it ends in -ing. What did you think the word after the next "and" is? I couldn't get that one either.

Another very ? and ? performance with technique all under control and some very polished and sensitive phrasing.

I think it starts with c and ends with ary - the second word I'm not sure of may be "musical".

What exactly does it refer to?
Anyway, it is a glowing compliment!
If you meet the man ask him what it says!

I think it says, "Another very cunning and unusual performance with technique all under control and some very polished and sensitive phrasing."

I recommend slower writing -- this is pretty bad!
