Preface
This international competition sets up a memorial to
the unique personality and oeuvre of Joseph Haydn, one of the great
Austrian composers and the father of chamber music.
In choosing the
repertoire for the International Joseph Haydn Chamber Music
Competition, we have consciously placed great emphasis on chamber music
from both the First and the Second Viennese School.
Importance is
to be laid not only on a timely consideration of these periods and the
bridge between them, but, even more significantly, upon the challenge of
composing new music of high quality.
Therefore we also encourage
young composers of our University to enrich the contemporary chamber
music repertoire by commissioning them to compose new works.
