Rules & Regulations:
The AMTA Romantic and Impressionistic Piano Competition celebrates the Romantic traditions established in the 19th century, and the Impressionistic emphasis on the interplay of colors. Performances of Romantic music require an emphasis on sensitivity, individuality and expression together with the value of piano technique. The tradition of “bel canto”--singing legato on piano--will be established as the most important factor in the definition of the Romantic style of performance. Variety in tone and rubato will be evaluated during the performances as an inseparable part of Romantic expression. Impressionistic performances will be evaluated with the ability of expressing the subtle ranges of nuances along with the quality and interplay of colors.
