The repertoire requirements for Group B are as follows:
Choose any one violin practice piece.

All competition pieces are limited to 15 minutes in length. The adjudicator has the right to stop the performance due to time constraints, but this will not affect the results. If the repertoire includes a piano concerto part, it must be accompanied by a piano.
The outstanding winners of the competition will have the chance to win the opportunity to perform at the Golden Hall in Vienna on August 4th.
The final interpretation of the competition belongs to the organizing committee of the competition.
