Favorite Chopin Competition

Also, if anyone bothers to take a look, which one is harder? I've noticed that #1 is more frequently played. Is it because it is more difficult?

My favorite is the one in Warsaw

I was thinking the same thing. If the OP knows of any others, I'd like to have a listen!!

Really?! Where? Or are you joking? What! There's really one in the US?! When is it?! How old... who's in it... why haven't I... why isn't it...

There's a so-called "international" competition somewhere in Hartford, Connectict, US
There's a National Chopin Competition in Miami, US
There's a Chopin Competition in Asia(held from place to place)
There's a much more prestigious Chopin Competition in Moscow
There's a Chopin Competition  for Youth in Sfarzania, Poland
The mot prestigious is the one in Warsaw.
 And maybe more.

But my main question was, which is your favorite Chopin COncerto?

I'm the only one to vote so far. I went with e minor. They're pretty much the same for me, but I don't care too much for the 1st movement of f minor. I like the Grieg concerto better than either of the Chopin concerti. Although, the 3rd movement of e minor is very impressive when played correctly. I'm playing 2nd movement of f minor and I like it a lot.

I like the f minor,

My vote goes for the e minor concerto, though both are great pieces
