The world premiere of the Juries in Competition piano competition took place at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. Between February 5 and 14, four juries delivered their verdicts—three expert juries composed of accomplished people in the piano world, complemented by an audience jury.

The development from the harpsichord to the concert grand piano was a long way, trodden by piano makers, who often had an exchange with the great pianists of their time. One of them was Ignaz Bösendorfer, whose company still exists today and stands like no other for the tradition of Viennese piano making.

Extraordinary, everyday, personal - stories, not only from our rich history, but also from our present with a pinch of future. In search of two exceptional master craftsmen who conquered Europe and later the whole world with the Viennese sound.

지난 6월, 세계 명품 피아노 브랜드 중 하나인 뵈젠도르퍼의 오스트리아 관계자들이 한국을 방문하였다. 
1828년 이그나츠 뵈젠도르퍼가 설립한 뵈젠도르퍼는 피아노의 제조 역사가 가장 길다. 당대 최고의 작곡가이자 피아니스트인 모차르트, 베토벤, 리스트, 브람스 등 시대를 풍미한 연주자들이 뵈젠도르퍼를 사용하였으며, 그들의 요구 사항이 뵈젠도르퍼 피아노에 반영되기도 하였다.
 전통적인 제작 방법을 고수해 온 뵈젠도르퍼 피아노는 현재에도 당시의 피아니스트 사운드를 재현하며 전 세계 연주자와 관객들의 높은 기대를 충족시켜주고 있다.
 서울을 방문한 관계자들은 YMK 스탭들과 다양한 활동을 통하여 높은 성과를 거둘 수 있었다.

The International Beethoven Piano Competition Vienna is Austria's oldest and most important international piano competition, performed exclusively on a Bösendorfer Grand. Founded more than 50 years ago, it is hosted by the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

With a great understanding of music, exceptionally good technical aptitude and uncompromising attention to quality, Ignaz Bösendorfer created something very special: He built grand pianos that not only stood up to the new, powerful playing of pianists such as Liszt, they also inspired composers and audiences alike with their sound.

Much of what once made Austria so great is now gone. People who enjoyed great popularity are no longer with us.

If you haven’t been to the Ringstrasse, you haven’t been to Vienna. The Vienna Ringstrasse is the historical boulevard that more than any other was the lifeline of an era, a road that connected worlds.
