Students who play a concerto without a cadenza risk being disqualified from prize eligibility if there is a cadenza in existence for that concerto\, and a cadenza is not performed. A student may compose and perform his/her own cadenza for a Mozart or Haydn concerto\, but it must be notated/printed in legible format for the judges. It is understood that the quality of the cadenza will be taken into consideration when judging the contestant’s performance. Prior approval is required. Any questions about cadenzas should be referred to the chairman BEFORE the application deadline. Teachers must indicate the timing of the cadenza on the judges’ score. \nThe following is a list of repertoire that has been used in the past to give you an idea of ages/repertoire/and levels for this event.  It is intended as a guide only\, not a required repertoire list. NVMTA Repertoire Lists – Concerto Competition-Piano. \nEntrant will abide by all copyright laws and has permission to use all music given to judges and accompanists during all events as outlined here. \nEligibility\nStudents may play at current school grade or higher.
