The Competition aims to discover new talent among young musicians and open them a way to the world of big musical achievements. Since Leon Fleisher in 1952, the competition has seen moments of glory, with first prize-winners like Vladimir Ashkenazy, Andrei Nikolsky, Frank Braley, Severin von Eckardstein, and Anna Vinnitskaya. Now the competition consists of a four-year cycle, each year it specializes either on violin, piano, solo singing or composing, one by one.  Some 63 musicians, 28 women and 35 men, were taking part in this year\u2019s competition. A total of 19 countries were represented at the contest by the most promising young pianists. The most numerous team at the contest was South Korea, with 15 pianists showing their talents in the Belgian capital. The semi-final saw 24 pianists, and the final, 12 (with notably five qualified South Koreans).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/KOZHUKHIN-Denis.jpg\" title=\"Piano Competition Winner\" class=\"alignright\" width=\"200\" height=\"230\" \/>The winner DENIS KOZHUKHIN began his studies at the Balakirev Music School, before going on to further studies at the Escuela Superior de M\u00fasica Reina Sof\u00eda in Madrid with Dmitri Bashkirov and Claudio Martinez-Mehner.
