A b o u t T h e C o m p e t i t i o n Through advanced technology, including the use of pianos capable of
transmitting the pianists’ performances via MIDI through the Internet, the
Piano-e-Competition can be judged from any location.This concept
enables the e-Competition to attract to the jury great musicians who
would otherwise be prevented from participating by their busy schedules.
For the first e-Competition, two juries will be assembled: one,“on site”,
consisting of seven jurors; a second, with two more judges, will be added
for the finals.These two judges will adjudicate from their “home”
locations. Each judge will be able to view the competition via
video-conferencing, and also hear the competition as synchronous
performances are transmitted from the competition site directly
to each judge's location.
Our artistic vision aims to bring to the public’s attention young artists
with the promise of lasting and important careers.The program has been
designed to allow participants the freedom to demonstrate their
strongest qualities in the repertoire that suits them best.
The Internet will be used to inform and educate those unable to attend
the actual competition. A competition website will provide information
on participants, works being performed and offer additional educational
elements. For the duration of the competition, all solo performances
will be stored on the Internet, accessible at any time. All rounds and
the Gala Concert will be broadcast over the Internet.

The technology exists that allows for transmission of piano sound directly to the
Internet and from one piano to another. This technology is incorporated into the amazing
Yamaha Disklavier®, the only piano of this kind currently in existence.
With more than 100 years of manufacturing expertise,Yamaha pianos have earned a
global reputation as instruments of exceptional quality, touch and tone. Renowned for
their eloquent and expressive range, their reliable performance,Yamaha concert grands
play an important role in the performing arts community.
During the Piano-e-Competition, participants will have the opportunity to perform
on Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand pianos.What will be unique about performing on these
instruments is that they will be equipped with state-of-the-art Disklavier Pro reproducing
technology. This system, which was pioneered by Yamaha, is the fusion of the acoustic
piano and computer electronics.This will allow all rounds and the gala concert of the
competition to be broadcast over the Internet.
To earn acceptance by the world’s leading professionals, a piano must be far more
than simply adequate; it must be truly a superlative instrument. Yamaha grands are
consistently played and praised by some of the greatest concert artists of our time.
The Piano-e-Competition is pleased to announce that Yamaha Corporation of
America is the official provider of Disklavier concert grand pianos for the competition.
