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

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

Zoltán Fejérvári (piano)

The term “partita” has taken on different meanings throughout various periods in music history. From the late 17th century onwards, it referred to a form of cyclic instrumental music: a series of variations on a song, dance, or chorale melody. However, during the time when Johann Sebastian Bach’s artistry was flourishing, the partita represented a type of suite originating from France. In this form, slow and fast-tempo dance movements, as well as movements with even and odd meters, were all built on similar musical ideas and harmonic progressions. Only a few of Bach’s works were printed during his lifetime, among which was the four-part Clavier-Übung. The first part, published in 1731, included the six partitas for keyboard that Bach composed between 1725 and 1730 and had been publishing individually since 1726. This concert will feature the first four partitas from this collection.
