Cliburn Commissioned Pieces

[yoshi0813]

Hi all,

Can anyone provide a list of commissioned works for the Cliburn? I found ones for 2022, 2017, and 2013, as well as Bernstein's "Touches", but I can't find any others. For background, I have learned and performed the Fanfare Toccata (2022), and I want to learn another one because these pieces are good choices for the contemporary era repertoire.

Any help is appreciated

Hello, is it possible to find the list of people who won the “best performance of a commissioned work” prize for the corresponding years?

Cool. Can you show me where I can find a list?

I don't have a one-stop list for you.  I just know the information is gatherable.

how/what has your research been so far?

have you emailed the cliburn organization?
