Newly reorganized Polish Piano Teachers Association, member of EPTA,
together with the International Federation of Chopin Societies
and the Foundation of International Chopin Festivals in Duszniki-Zdrój
are proud to announce

THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL FREDERIC CHOPIN MAZURKA COMPETITION
to be held in March 24-25  (Elinination Round, video contest)  –  May 19-25 2007 (Public Auditions)
under auspices of the National Frederic Chopin Institute

THE COMPETITION HAS BEEN CANCELED
DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS FROM
THE Frederic Chopin OPERATIONAL PROGRAM

THE PROJECT AWAITS FUNDING


The major goal of the competition is to expand study of the works of Frederic Chopin
and to promote the Mazurka - the most nationalistic of all Polish musical forms.
The contest therefore sets both artistic and educational aims:
the artistic aim is to observe and promote the most interesting and stylistically correct interpretations
of the Chopin Mazurkas, while the educational aim is to familiarize young pianists with Mazurkas
and to set forth the proper manner of their interpretation through
the verdicts of the jury as well as in accompanying educational events
such as seminars and open master classes.

The Competition in 2007 will be open to pianists born no earlier than May 31, 1986.
The Competition will be composed of the Elimination Round, based on the assessment
of submitted video recordings (DVD), and the Preliminary and the Final Rounds
which are both public auditions. The Elimination Round will take place on March 24-25, 2007 in Warsaw;
the Preliminary and Final Rounds will be held on May 19-26, 2007 in Duszniki-Zdrój, Poland.
