Q: Should I submit all pieces for a round in one video, or in separate videos?

A: We accept videos with multiple pieces in one longer video, or separate pieces in separate videos.

Q: How do I record videos?

A: See our instruction video for further information.
Here you learn how to record using a smartphone, upload it on YouTube and make the video Unlisted or Public and send the video link to to us. A Private video on YouTube is not possible to view for our jury members.

Q: If I am recording a set of pieces that is part of a bigger work (e.g. several Debussy Preludes from the same Book), may I record them separately?

A: Yes.

Q: If I am recording a longer work with multiple movements (e.g. movements of a Bach Suite, movements of a Classical Sonata, etc.), may I record them separately?

A: Yes.

Q: If my piece is longer than than the maximum stated, can I still send the video?

A: Yes, but be aware that the jury may only judge to the amount of time listed as maximum in the criterias for the specified category.

Q: May I apply with a movement of a concerto?

A: When the class doesn’t mention a specific piece or otherwise, YES you may apply with concerto for piano, recorded solo, with second piano or with orchestra, as you wish.

Q: Can I apply to several categories with the same video link?

A: Yes! You are allowed to use the same video in all the categories where the video link fits (for instance a Debussy Etude piece in both the Performance class , the Etude repertory class as well as the French composer class).

Q: Can I use videos that are recorded before?

A: Yes. You may use videos recorded at any time, as long as you feel that it best represents your ability. However, you will be judged based on your current age, not the age when the video was produced.
