The Polish Chamber Musicians’ Association (SPMK), publisher of Notatnik Pianistyczny, invites composers to participate in the “Chopin Inspirations” composition competition. Celebrating the enduring legacy of Fryderyk Chopin, the competition seeks original piano miniatures inspired by Chopin’s iconic waltzes or mazurkas.
Submissions are open until June 30, 2025, with two competition categories:
- Professional composers born before 1999
- Open category, with no age restrictions
While there is no strict time limit for the submitted compositions, all works should reflect the spirit of a miniature. The jury—comprised of renowned pianists and composers—will be announced on the Association’s website by the end of May. Winners will be revealed no later than July 31.
