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!
