헨레 피아노 콩쿠르
We were able to see and hear the enthusiasm with which 651 young pianists from 32 different countries participated in the Henle Piano Competition. That is by far the largest number of contestants the competition ever reached in its eleven year history. The young musicians played a piece by Robert Schumann.
