Below, you will find the order of appearance and the repertoire proposed by each candidate. In order to respect the sanitary measures, we have added an extra noon session on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In the first round recital, each pianist performs a work of choice and the first movement of a classical sonata by Beethoven, Haydn or Mozart. In addition, the candidate plays one or two of the four études he has prepared for this round : one by Chopin; one by Liszt; one by Bartók, Debussy, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Skryabin or Stravinsky; and one by Abrahamsen, Dusapin, Ligeti, Mantovani, Messiaen, Ohana or Rautavaara. Each candidate communicates his choice just before his performance. We will adjust the programme afterwards on the page below.
