Although the Bartók World Competition has not yet been running for several decades, it is already one of the most prestigious competitions in the world: hundreds of entries are received for each year, and every year the audience and jury hear world-class performances - not only in the final but also in the preliminaries thanks to the video preselection round. The preliminaries will be held in the Solti Hall of the Liszt Academy  

 

Semi-finals: 6 September 19:00; 7 September 15:00 and 19:00

Admission is free. 

Every two years, the competition organises an instrumental round, with a composition competition in the even years. In 2022, the  task was to write a violin-piano duo, the winning pieces became compulsory pieces for the current semi-final: all competitors must perform one of them. The semi-finals will also be held in the Solti Hall of the Liszt Academy.    

 

Orchestral finals: 9 September, 15:00 and 19:00. Tickets are available by clicking on the selected time.

Only the best young artists will be admitted to the orchestral finals of the Violin Competition, with six young artists scheduled to compete. They will have a choice of seven concertos for the final competition in the main hall of the Liszt Academy: in addition to two Bartók concertos, the final will include a violin concerto by Mendelssohn, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven or Sibelius. Featuring the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Conducted by János Kovács.

INTERMISSION

Beethoven: Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 3 in A major, Op. 69

Gergely Devich (cello), Fülöp Ránki (piano)

Sonatas written for cello and keyboard instruments before Beethoven fell into two categories: in the first version, based on Baroque practice, the keyboard player had a mere accompanying role, while in the second, the roles were reversed, and the cellist simply doubled the bass notes of the chordal parts. The original title of his first two sonatas, created by Beethoven in his mid-twenties (Two Grand Sonatas for the Harpsichord or Pianoforte with a Violoncello obbligato) suggested that the compositions, designated as opus 5, followed the latter direction. However, the cello part he wrote was more than just a simple accompaniment; here, for the first time, the two instruments became equal partners. The composer continued and further developed this new revolutionary approach with the works written in his middle and late creative periods: with his Cello Sonata No. 3 that was written more than ten years later and which is one of the most popular of the five, as well as with the last two works from 1815, which, by the way, were dedicated to the Hungarian Countess Anna Mária Erdődy. The artists who envisioned the Beethoven evening are both students of the Doctoral School of the Liszt Academy and outstanding personalities of the young generation of musicians. Chamber music takes up a role in their lives; besides having played together before, they also represent this genre in other ensembles.
