The most prestigious competition of pianists -- the Frederick Chopin International Competition -- is undertaken in Warsaw, Pland. This competition is held only once every 5 years. And last time it was Yundi Li from Shenzhen, China that won the top honor. This is the competiton's website: http://www.konkurs.chopin.pl/index.php And here is the list of 12 finalists from 257 contenders: http://www.konkurs.chopin.pl/show.php?DOC=Wyniki_II_etapu (Japan - 4, S. Korea - 3, Poland - 2, Hong Kong -1, US - 1, Russia -1) This competition is known to be tough and picky. If none of the finalists perform to what the judges expect, the judges will not hand out the first prize and leave it vacant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
