Repertoire Requirements for the International Program

Round One Guidelines:

• Please submit video recordings that were created within the past three years.
• Movements of works should be recorded in single, unedited takes (no editing); compile the movements of each work into one video file per work
• Label your recordings clearly with composer, title, movement(s), and date of recording.
• Recordings do not have to be from public performances; sound and video quality are of greater importance.
• Make sure that proper lighting is used and that the camera shows full range of movement and use of instrument.
• String players note – for works with piano, we want to see your pianist in the video frame.
