Premiered in 1950, the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition has been held every other year since 1996. In three rotating disciplines the entrants are to demonstrate their “stage-readiness” and experience in the techniques of the stylistic periods covered in the competition programme. And they’re to study the pieces in their Urtext editions.
