Video preselection · three items in one link

• One Bach prelude and fugue, one étude, and movement I of the Classical sonata. The same video pieces must be submitted for the live programme. Record each item in one take, separately allowed, and provide one unedited link. Prizewinners at WFIMC-member competitions in the last four years may supply proof instead; for age divisions only the oldest category counts.

• One Bach WTC I or II prelude and fugue, one étude by Chopin, Liszt, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Bartók, Stravinsky or Ligeti, and one substantial 20th- or 21st-century work. Selections from multi-movement works are permitted for the third item. The étude and the modern work must have different composers.

Round 2 · solo · up to 50 min plus optional commission

• One Spanish selection: Albéniz, an Iberia piece except Evocación or Navarra; Falla Fantasía Bética or at least two of his Four Spanish Pieces; or one Granados Goyescas piece including El Pelele as an option. Optional for the contemporary prize: Gustavo Díaz-Jerez’s Yayyan, extra to the 50 minutes. No minimum duration.

Up to six reach this round.

Final · three pianists · choose one concerto

• With Córdoba Orchestra: Beethoven No. 4 or 5, Brahms No. 1, Chopin No. 1 or 2, Rachmaninoff No. 2, Schumann Op. 54 or Tchaikovsky No. 1.
