02/07/2025

We now know the brands of pianos that will be featured at the 19th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition. In addition to the Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai and Fazioli pianos present at previous editions of the Competition, the pianists will also have at their disposal a C. Bechstein D-282, a manufacturer that traces its very long history back to 1853, and boasts a steady presence on the most important concert stages and competitions, including the Chopin Competition.

    In 2024, a manuscript of a Waltz in A minor for piano, comprising only 24 bars and apparently notated by Chopin, was found in the music collection of The Morgan Library and Museum in New York. The discovery gained worldwide attention and generated considerable controversy about its authenticity.
