"Surely this is piano country"

This prestigious competition serves as a tribute to the unparalleled musical legacy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The term Clavierland originates from Mozart's well-known letter to his father Leopold upon his arrival in Vienna in the spring of 1781, vividly expressing his anticipation of the city's vibrant music landscape. Vienna, affectionately referred to by Mozart as "Piano Land," has long been revered as the epitome of piano excellence, making it the perfect setting for the Vienna Mozart Clavierland Piano Competition, a homage to the enduring fascination of classical music.
