Preliminary Round:
Invited players will play the recorded works
submitted with their application in the first
round of the competition.
Final Round:
The top FOUR final contestants will play a program of 25 minutes in length. All competitors will be required to play the set piece "Hommage a Debussy" by Manuel De Falla. (We recommend using John Duarte's edition published by Chester Music.) The rest of the program will consist of free selections from two (2) or more of the following style periods. Pieces should not duplicate the preliminary round, but performers may use unplayed movements from works included in the preliminary round. The order of the final program is at the discretion of the performer.
Renaissance
Baroque
Classical
Romantic
Contemporary
Applicants selected for the preliminary round
of the competition will be asked to submit their
25-minute final program on the day of the final
competition in advance. The judges will determine
if the program does not meet the requirements
of the final round and request a change of program
if it is determined that the program does not
cover at least two distinct periods.
Contestants who wish to have a pre-determination
