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

Every two years, the competition organises an instrumental round, with a composition competition in the even years.

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.

Péter Nagy (piano)

“Recommended Milestones” could also be the title of Péter Nagy’s piano recital. The Piano Sonata No. 3 in C major, completed in the summer of 1804, is one of the most significant pieces of Ludwig van Beethoven’s middle, “heroic” creative period, dedicated to his friend and patron, Count Waldstein. Robert Schumann’s Fantasie in C Major was completed in 1836, but the composer significantly revised it before its publication in 1839. The revised form is a central work of both the composer and the early Romantic period. It is dedicated to the great contemporary, Ferenc Liszt. In contrast, Béla Bartók dedicated his only Piano Sonata, written in 1926, to a very close family member, his wife, Ditta Pásztory. The Sonata is one of the key works of the composer’s “piano year” and an early herald of a new, more classical and refined creative period.
