Program

Preselection

Because of the problems around COVID-19, the board of the International Clarinet Competition Ghent, took a few decisions :

  1. The piece of Alain Crepin will be canceled from the pre-selection.  We cannot guarantee that every candidate gets the music on time to prepare in the best way.  Lam Gods Impressions will be added to the second round of the competition.
  2. It is allowed to send in recordings of the Mozart Concerto (1° movement, exposition) also without piano.  This will have no influence on the judgment.
  3. I. Stravinsky / 3 Pieces (in a continuous video)
