All repertoire must include at least one piece from the

arrangements or abridged versions will be accepted. Selections
written with piano accompaniment must be performed with
a pianist. Unaccompanied solo works are acceptable entries
if paired with a concerto.
Vocalists
Choose three selections composed in the original languages,
specifically to include one work in English and two works
in languages other than English. Everything is to be memorized.
Solo Instrumentalists
Choose two contrasting works, representing different musical
eras, styles and tempi. At least one piece must be a concerto
or the equivalent (with orchestral accompaniment). All solo
pieces must be memorized, including Sonatas.
Chamber Music/Ensembles
Choose two (substantial) contrasting movements, selected
from the standard repertoire, representing two different
musical eras. Major sonatas for piano and one other instrument
(either a wind or stringed instrument) may be considered
an ensemble piece if the piano part is written as an equal
to the other and not considered an accompanying part. Sonatas
performed within the ensemble category should be performed
with music. |
