Dear violists, Thank you so much for applying for the Oskar Nedbal International Viola Competition 2022! Thank you for your wonderful recordings! Our Jury (Tim Frederiksen, Lech Antonio Uszynski, Kristina Fialová, Peter Barsony and Jan Pěruška) just received them and is looking forward to listening! We expect to have the 1st round results ready on July 14th. We will send you an information email as well as we will write our 2nd round competitors list on our web and social media. We wish you the best of luck!
Questions and answers
Dear violists, we´ve received couple of similair questions from some of you so we would like to answer to most usual ones here.
1. The videorecording must be recorded as a one video without cuts between pieces. The video should be filmed from a fixed camera angle; musician´s hands and face must be entirely visible all the time
2. The videorecording doesn´t have to be from a professional studio. In last two years we´ve learnt that even with a good phone one can make a nice recording. Just please make sure the sound quality of the recording is good.
3. 1st round repertoire - a work for viola unaccompanied (or a movement-s) chosen by canditate. It can by any piece chosen by you for viola solo - contemporary piece, Capricce, Etude - whatever you feel confident with. It can be one or more movements from a larger piece, it´s totally up to you. The only rule is that the whole first round can not be longer than 15 minutes.
We are looking forward for your applications!
