Conditions for participation

PIANALE is aimed at piano students from Germany and abroad with a repertoire rehearsed to concert standard. All participants should prepare a concert repertoire containing at least four important piano works which might be performed during the concerts of PIANALE. The programs of the concerts will be published one day before each concert. The Landesmusikakademie Hessen (Hesse State Music Academy) is based at Schloss Hallenburg and offers abundant practising facilities for all course participants.

In case of late arrival or early departure the participant looses the right to perform at the semi-final and final concert and has no right to win any scholarship or award.

For Radio and TV transmissions or recordings of the different stages, candidates have no right to claim fees and must consent to any broadcastings and recordings.
