\"\"“We are happy and proud to present to you our 10th edition of The World of Piano Competitions. And the title of this unique magazine was not chosen that badly back in 2019, because piano competitions with their competitors, juries, and many others involved in the background do resemble a very special microcosmos in its own right. A world of beauty, joy and often bitter disappointment, but mostly a world of motivated and passionate musicians trying to give the younger generations a little nudge in the right direction.”<\/em>

Background<\/h2>\n

The piano enjoys a tremendous popularity worldwide and has the universal quality to be able to communicate through cultures, history and geographical borders. The value of piano competitions cannot be overestimated in terms of focus on the piano as an instrument and piano playing. The competition industry engages a multiplicity of concerns including hi-end piano manufacturing, media coverage and broadcast, repertoire spotlight and pedagogy, concert and lecture production and not least, career opportunity and exposure for laureates and non-laureates. All this contributes to a richer cultural life and can powerfully promote the aim we all share: to spread the joy and riches of the art of piano playing. <\/p>\n

\u201dPiano music, especially live, is incomparable and can be a great source of joy for players and listeners. We all should strive to allow as many people benefit from it as possible. For that, this edition of The World of Piano Competition is an excellent form of encouragement. I hope its message spreads widely! I wish everyone much joy reading it and, later on, attending a concert!\u201d<\/em>
\n— Guido Zimmermann, President Steinway & Sons Europe<\/p>\n
