In short, the collective taltional programs (including Musical ent represented by winners of the Van Awakeningsand Adopt-a-Competitor)to Cliburn InternationalPiano Competition benefit area students, in cooperation continues to enrich immeasurably the

culture of communitiesworldwide.

An indispensablecorollary to the mission of "promoting the finest talent" is the function of building audiencesfor Cliburn laureatesand for classicalmusic in general.To this end, the Foundation's two educational outreach programs for school children, Musical Awakenings and Adopt-a-Competitor,useprofessionally crafted,highly interactiveprograms to introduce young audiences,often for the first time, to the joy and excitement of classicalmusic repertoireand live performance.

The International Piano Competition for OutstandingAmateurs,now being replicatedin severalcities here and overseas, was designed as a complement to the professionalcompetition. As the Cliburn Competition encouragesthe making of music on stage, the Amateur Competition promotes the making of music at home, as well as a deepened appreciation of the power of music to enrich the lives of so many diverse and accomplishedindividuals.

The opportunityto experiencea tremendous wealth of repertoireat hundreds of performancesduring both competitions, as well as the privilege of listening to today's most illustrious artists through the Cliburn Concertsseries,has helped to secureFort Worth audiences'reputation as one of the most musically knowledgeable anp,vhere. This sophisticated musical cultivation, in turn, has led to the formation of a large body of deeply dedicatedvolunteers,without whom the Foundation'sactivities could never have grown to the level of prominence they currently enjoy It is the devotion of the public, commitment of volunteers, and generosity of supporters, all born of a love for great classical music together with a recognition of the fulfillment it brings to all lives, that has allowed Fort Worth to take its deservedplace among the musical capitalsof the world.

M.rri.,

reverberating across the proscenium, has the power to loosen geographicallines and to erasethe arc of historical time- As it changes dimensions of perspective,it enlivensinsight and deepensthe meaning of our environment and relationships. Every performance can create a different experience. Like a kaleidoscope,each turn provides a new gift resulting from extraordinary artistic talents.

This is the promise of the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Each of us will emerge with a new spirit. The exterior may appearthe same,but the artist-competitorwith the will of mind and body and the power of the music will changeus forever.

I salute the thirty-five specialpianists chosen to perform here. You have come from all over the world to play-to

win a unique opportunity to enhance the

quality of your life's journey as a performing artist. Technology-wireless and digital-makes

it possible for more than the seated audience at Bass

PerformanceHall to hear and seeyou, everyonearound the world will be able to have a presenceat the Cliburn Competition, via television, Internet, radio, and later through CD and DVD. You will make a differencein the lives of milIions-you

and the power of the music.

It is a privilege and a thrill to welcome all to the TWELFTH COMPETITION. Artists and patrons and community spirit are the componentsof the paradigm Fort Worth and the Cliburn have lollowed since the First Competition in L962. It is a tremendous pleasure to acknowledge the generosity of each of you, for the magnitude of your gifts-artistic talents,hospitality, time, energy, resources,and a desire to make this THE BEST.Appreciation and admiration are without restraint.

Van Cliburn inspires us. Richard Rodzinski brings shape and meaning to the dream. Bass Performance Hall is in a class all its own. The support from patrons and volunteers is matchlessand without precedent.I bow to all with gratitude and esteem.

Thousandsof personshave made this moment possible.Whenever this competition is remembered,the efforts and spirit of all involved will have life, and in turn will become a renewinq force in the hearts of those who embracethis experience.

With every best wish that your journey here is rewarding, inspiring, and fulfilling.

I he Cliburn Competition clearly recognizes the importance of cele"achievements brating that seem so outstanding that not honoring them is to deny some supposed values of the society."' However, as is true in other performing arts, competitions

functions as a ser of public auditions lor

prearranged three-year concert tours, recordings, and radio and television appearances. The various phases of the competition, the recitals and performances of chamber music and concerti, each serve to help evaluate who are the most qualified pianists to be contracted for a particular engagement or set of engagements and in what repertoire. As is true of other performing arts, including theater, ballet, opera, film, and television-for tests are par lor the course-the

which auditions and screen

not

as an end in itself but, rather, only as a gateway to a number of opportunities.

Whereas professional auditions are generally not open to the publicJ numerous examples exist in opera-the

most familiar of which is the Metropolitan

Opera National Council Auditions-during

which every phase is open to the

public. In ballet, the Prix de Lausanne serves as a set of auditions for appren, ticeships to a number of ballet companies.

At the heart of all auditions, just as in entrance exams, job interviews, and tryouts, Iies the essenceof competition. Because more than one person wants to be considered for a particular opening or a limited number of opportunities, a choice has to be made. That function is relegated to the most qualified experts in hopes that the wisdom of their decisions will be born out over time.

Well-designed competitions will provide special career advancing opportunities for a few. All participants, however, may take advantage of and benefit from the widespread exposure. Their extraordinary level of performance bears witness to the intense preparations stimulated by competition. As eloquently stated by Marcus Raskin during the I999 International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs: "For the sake of humanity, competition must only be conducted in the context of community and cooperation. In practical terms, this means that sfriving Jor excellence leaves no one behind, where skills and gifts are developed to their fullest, nurturing not only each of us as individuals, but others and the larger comrnunity, as well."

OLGA KERN 2001GoldMedalist

Ti" vu., Cliburn International Piano Competition provided me the opportunity to realize my dream to meet the brilliant pianist, the adored idol, the embodiment of the great musicians of our time, Van Cliburn. It allowed me to discover the magnificent and welcoming nation, America, with its little corner of heaven,Texas,in which I came to see myself as a guest of a warm and loving family, the Van Cliburn Foundation.

Many creative horizons opened up for me as a result of winning the competition, including the chance to collaborate with renowned orchestras, conductors, and musicians, as well as the opportunity to work with the superb record label, harmonia mundi. Columbia Ailists Management, one of the most prestigious management companies in the world, took over the direction of my career from the Cliburn Foundation.

Some of the most exciting events that followed the competition were performing at the White House for President Bush, as well as performing at the world-famous Carnegie Hall.

Most importantly, in my heart, there will forever remain the indelible impressions and memories of so many ecstatic minutes and extraordinary people, gifted to me as a result of my participating in this competition.

STANISLAV IOUDENITCH 200| Gold Medalist

Atr"uay four years,but what four years!

In carrying the Cliburn Prize to America, to the world, I have been listening to the public as much as they have been listening to me. what a surprise, and what joy in what I have found. Music, more than ever,is a deepspirituar experience that my audiences and I want and need to share. Contrary to what some pundits say and have been saying for so many years, the slapdash, the superficial, is no longer desired or tolerated.people want to connect, as they have never wanted before. you can hear it in the silence during a really good performance. A quality of emotion and craft is what I want to convey as a Cliburn winner. Ir might take a bit longer, but there is that deep satisfaction in this vocation, and I am very grateful for the way the gold medal has enriched my existence.

{ o

To the future candidates,I urge you to enjoy the marvelousreception that Fort worth provides. These are really wonderful and warmhearted people. please respect each other and be ready to accept any future with dignity. But above all, enjoy the music!

TO INTERNATIONAL CITY FROMFRONTIERTOWN FORTWORTH:

Downtown Fort Worth.

I

Like a novel spanning multiple generations,the story of Fort Worth is filled with many interesting chapters.

It dates to 1849, when the U.S. Army established a fort overlooking the Tiinity River. This was the beginning of Fort Worth-a city now noted for its unique dual nature of "Cowboys and Culture." The city'sjourney from humble beginning to vibrant metropolitan community is underscoredby the Van Cliburn lnternational Piano Competition. This year, thousands of people from around the world will experiencethe Twelfth Competition in Fort Worth. It is appropriate to reflect on how a Texasfrontier town evolved to serve as host site to one of the most prestigious performing arts events conducted today.

28

Fort Worth has long been known as "Where the West Begins."Its first days helped secure a large section of the vast Texas frontier, and even through the difficult pioneer years, people in Fort Worth had great interest in the cultural arts. Mrs. Ripley Arnold, wife of the commander who built the original army fort, brought a piano by wagon to the fort in 1850. Mrs. Arnold's determined dedication to music made it possible for this piano to becomea part of life for the soldiers and civilians who were creating the city's earliestsettlement.

Although the army moved further westward in 1853, a town grew out of its remains. Major growth occurred after the Civil War. as thousands of

longhorn cattle were driven up the Chisholm Tiail to Kansas, and also when the railroad arrived in 1876.

Fort Worth had become the seat of county government and home to the Tarrant County Courthouse, which stands downtown today It also developed into a transportation hub for commerce throughout North Central Texas and beyond. One of the early promoters of the city described this railroad network as a "tarantula map" giving Fort Worth access from all directions. As Fort Worth entered the 1900s, it was well-positioned for growth and development. With access to rail, the long cattle drives became obsolete, and Fort Worth developed a major stockyard, which included meat-packing operations by both

Swift and Armour companies. The Stockyards, now a national historic district, housesgreat icons of the West and is a popular area for visitors today.

As a result of this continued strong involvement with livestock, Fort Worth is called "Cowtown"-a nickname fondly used by Fort Worth residents and visitors alike.

Oil, the military and aviation gave Fort Worth its next expansion. ln 1916, the U.S. Army was mobilizing due to the Revolution in Mexico and the War in Europe. Fort Worth becamea major aviation training center, with three nearby airfields operated by the Royal Flying Corps. The west side of Fort Worth became an army training camp named Camp Bowie in honor of Jim Bowie, the hero of the Alamo.

Abundant oil discoveries to the west of the city coincided with the decline of military activities here, making Fort Worth a major player in the oil industry. When war clouds again caused military mobilization in the early 1940s, Fort Worth became a military aviation center with the "Bomber Plant," producing B-24s for the nation's war effort. Since that time, aircraft have continuously been produced in Fort Worth at the plant now operated by Lockheed Martin, one of the largest aircraft manufacturing companiesin the world.

In 1936, Fort Worth, through the factors in making Fort Worth an interIeadershipof Amon G. Carter, gained national city Though a long involvefederal funding to create the Will ment existed with international oil Rogers Memorial Center.

Downtown Fort Worth has also experienced a number of dramatic cycles.

For many years,there were two downtowns-one surrounding the courthouse and another in the southern end focusing on railroad traffic along LancasterAvenue. From the 1930s to the 1950s, 7'hStreetwas the center of town, with numerous theaters, office towers, and stores. When the postWorld War ll suburban malls emerged, Fort Worth's downtown experienced a slow demise, with numerous urban retail stores and movie theatersclosing their doors.

As Fort Worth advanced through the new century many seeds o[ positive development brought wonderful new features.In the early 1980s, the Bass family, in cooperation with city leadership, initiated Sundance Square, a multi-block areaof new office towers and restored historic structures housing shops and restaurants. Over the next two decades, Sundance Square and downtown steadily became attractive and active- The growth in entertainment and restaurantswas followed by significant numbers of new apartments and condominiums. Even an office building damaged by a tornado in 2000 has been transformed into a beautiful tower, with nearly 300 upscale condominium units in the heart of downtown. Another maior

FORTWORTH:FROMFRONTIER TOWN TO INTERNATIONAL CITY Continued development centers around the Fort Worth Convention Center, which underwent a major expansionand is a key element in the revitalization of downtown's southern side.

The revitalization o[ downtown Fort Worth is one of the most dramatic successesof the community, and it directly relates to the vitality of the arts community. One of the most important recent aspects of this revitalization is the 1998 addition of Bass Performance Hall. The Hall, home to great acousticsand dramatic architecture.opened to rave reviews.

The two beautiful angelsadorning the faeadehave become icons of the city.

Bass Hall gave the Van Cliburn Foundation a world-class home for the competition's performers, judges, and attendees.Although these factors were fundamental to the Hall's artistic success,its impact on the vitality of downtown cannot be underestimated.

BassHall is situated neatly in the heart of the city. Everyone coming to and from BassHall has the opportunity to enjoy the lights, restaurants, shops, and sounds of the area.

element of future urban development.

Both the north and south ends of downtown will gain great new appeal.

Many of the buildings of the past have been integrated into these new developments, adding character,color, and consistency to an already vibrant downtown core. This area, blended with a strong connection to the arts and architecture,createsa destination that is memorable to everyone who loves cities.

Today, Fort Worth's many successes are matched by its dramatic growth.

"Cowtown" is now the twentiethlargestcity in the United Statesand is widely recognized for urban revit^liza-

tion. In 2004, Fort Worth received recognition as one of the "Most Liveable Cities" in the United States.

This prestigious award recognizes the fact that Fort Worth has a great record of blending the old with the new, thus making the city a great place to be.

The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition furthers Fort Worth's reputation as a major arts capital and is a most cherished resident in the city of "Cowboys and Culture."

Douglas Harman Presidentâ‚Ź, CEO Fort Worth Conventionâ‚Źt VisitorsBureau

Corporate America has also discovered the unique appeal of downtown Fort Worth. At a time when major corporations are sought by communities throughout the country, two major companies-Pier I lmports and the RadioShack Corporation-selected downtown to build their new landmark headquarters. Both companies have long been located in Fort Worth, but there was intense interest from many other places to house their headquarters. Fortunately, they both built dramatic corporate offices along the Trinity River in downtown.

Fort Worth came into existencelargeIy due to its proximity to the Tiinity River.Now the city is once againturning its vision to this same riverfront with plans to transform the area dramatically. Fort Worth leaders, led by U.S. Congresswoman Kay Granger, have initiated plans to make the Trinity River corridor an integral

On one level, charisma, personality, and extraordinary musicianship may suffice to enthrall an audience,and to the pianist, the ability to "speak" to an audience may come instinctively and require little thought. But to begin to comprehend and consequently to impart a more profound level of interpretation of the score, that inner voice must seek to identify with the composer's inspirational fountainhead, the one experienced by the composer and from which all music flowed. The voice must seek to become an "interpreter," not of the composer'snotes, but of the very same source the composer himself was interpretingthrough this score.

At the age of eighty, Giuseppe Verdi wrote his greatest masterpiece, Falstaff. His doctor had advised him to limit his composing to not more than four hours a day.

VOTINGPROCEDURES Continued declare such relationship and, if asked to do so by the jury chairman, abstain from voting on that competitor'sperformance. Any juror who has had a long-term teaching or close relationship of any kind with a competitor at any time is encouraged to disclose such relationship. . Each member of the jury must attend every performance of each round. Failure to do so will disqualifv the juror. o Jurors must refrain from verbal comment, demonstrativebehavior, or any form of communication during competitors' performances. . No individual or composite jury votes may be disclosed at any time to any person who is not a juror, the certified public accountant responsiblefor tabulation of the votes, the computer operator, or the president of the Van Cliburn Foundation, except the final composite decision of the jury at the conclusion of each round of the competition, which will be announced to the public after the Preliminary and Semifinal Rounds by the jury chairman, and after the Final Round by the master of ceremoniesat the Awards Ceremony.

ion of a juror is contained not so much in the actual scoresgiven, but in the distribution and spacing of the scores. This is coupled with an assumption that eachjuror has only a certain amount of "opinion" to contribute to the final decision, much like sending someone on a purchasing trip with a fixed budget. To accomplish this goal, eachjuror's scoresare statistically measured for spread (measure of opinion content) using a standard deviation, and then adjusted in an accordionfashion,either in or out, to align with a targetvalue. All scoresfor eachjuror are also adjusted so that all jurors share the same target average score.Additional methods are applied to accommodate abstentions and rogue scores.

that at least two other jurors have also ranked that candidateamong their top three choices.If more than three candidates occupy a juror's top numerical rankings (e.g. two pianists are given 24 points, and three are given 23 points), only those pianists assigned the highest number will be under consideration as controversial competitors. Thereafter, each member of the jury will be asked to consider whether or not the competitor listed at the bottom of his or her own list of pianists to be promoted is one that the juror believes is a better choice than the controversial candidatesunder consideration.If a juror agreesthat the choice of his or her bottom-ranked candidate is not significantly superior to the contoversial competitor, and is willing to defer to the strong sentiments of the three or more jurors favoring the controversial candidate, a re-vote will be taken for the last place only.

The votes throughout the entire competition are not cumulative, and there is no weighting of any phase.The jury must take into consideration all the performancesgiven by the competitor being scored up to the time a ballot is Preliminary Round cast. For example,jurors deciding on At the end of the Preliminary Round, the top prizewinners must consider sheets marked with lines numbered the recital in the Preliminary Round, from I to 25 are distributed to the the recital in the Semifinal Round, the jury.

VOTINGPROCEDURES Continued The averageperformer should receive a score from eachjuror somewherein the middle of the range-around 12.

In the event that a juror awardsa competitor a number o[ points, which (after processing) is less than the median processedscore for that competitor by 20o/oof the total scoring range (20o/oof 25 is 5 points), then that score will be adjusted upwards to meet that limiting value.

Pleasenote that the score "0" is a special score. This does not imply a very poor performance; rather, it implies that the juror has a connection with the particular performer and must abstain from voting for this individual.

This scoring system will properly handle the abstention without any bias, positive or negative, regarding that particular competitor.

Semifinal Round At the end of the Semifinal Round, the jurors will assignpoints to the twelve pianists on a sheet marked with numbered lines, beginning with the lowest score received by any semifinalist at the end of the Preliminary Round. For example, if the competitor at the bottom of the list of those passedon into the Semifinal Round receivedan average score of 12, the sheet will now have lines marked from numbers 12 through 25. Scores for the semifinalists should reflect their performances in both the Preliminary and Semifinal Rounds. Again, jurors will be provided with a ballot sheet listing the contestants' names in alphabetical order.

Each juror will copy onto this ballot sheet the appropriate score next to eachname, sign this sheet,and hand it in to have the scores input into the computer.

That's the only of yourself to that composer. You relevancethat lives. listen to or read every one of his works. You select the ones that touch you the deepest,and then you let an audience share in that which is the deepestin you. That which produces the fine playing, the special performance, is the love for it, the feeling that you're a part of something that is much, much, much greater than you are. Not that you can play it, but that you can live it.

What drives one to the instrument is that which makes music eternal, makes it the languagewhich is understood by everyone.It has no words to it, therefore nothing is set in square form. You are free as much as your imagination is. And that's what I love to look for: when someone comes along who turns a phrase o[ a composer and I can feel that he found this for himself in his treasury and he sharesit with me. Then I will love him because he has given me something that I don't have without him. That's what I expect from a young pianist.

founda heyinto the soulof a worl?.

It must be surprising to you that although the standard of piano playing has risen to such an extent, all these most difficult pieces for the piano are quite easyfor pianists of our time. While, on the other hand, you can count the great pianiss on one hand, really. The earlier great pianists may have been replacedin fame, or in filling the hall, or with someonewho is playing marvelously well, but that spiritual heritagethat they had has not been replaced and that's what we are looking for. And if a competition has a place (and it does, in my opinion, have a strong place, in selecting or finding thesepeople and helping them at a decisivepoint in their career),it is for that reasonthat we should look for someonewho will be out of the ordinary, or actually, someone who is extraordinary.

and, therefore, into the knowledge which has accumulatedabout a work.

B ut then comes t he exam inat ion, because the eyes of the nineteenth century and the eyes of the twentieth century are different eyes. There is a different perspective.Not that values, true values,have changed,but the way in which we view those values has changed. We are all products not only of our heritage, but products of our time. We play accordingly. Now, obviously the score cannot say everything; it says a great deal, but a gre t deal is between the lines, it is unsaid. And that which is between the lines presumes and demands that the language of a particular composer is something which you have made your own. You have a person who will play more Beethovenor Brahms or Schumann or Chopin, who has the affinity for one or another, and who has thought to have found a way into the soul of those composers.

If you are not connectedto that which was good in a former generation, you obviously have to find it again.

Because that which was great and good, like the great composers, you don't replace.You don't replacean adagio that Schnabel played. You don't replace a Rachmaninoff's playing of his own music, or if you wish, the Carnqyal, or a Chopin sonata. You don't replace a Horowitz when he plays Scriabin. You learn from them.

You don't replace a Serkin when he played the Brahms concerto.You learn from him. You don't replace an Arrau when he plays a Beethovensonataor a Beethoven concerto. And certainly you don't replace a Sviatislav Richter who, in his greatness,will convince you of what is in that music which is eternal.

Everybody can play the most difficult pieces today. The four-minute mile.

They all start with that, the agility, some more than others. But a work is alive today, not because it was difficult, not because only a few people could play it; the work today lives becauseit has a message.It has a messageby the composer,which, in a way, is what music-making is all about. It says the most important things. What we expect from a great pianist, what There was a time when pianists had we expect from a musician, is that he The pupil of a pupil of a pupil may the freedom to play even different gives us a point of view, that he has reach back to the great composers, notes or change rhythms in order to

FROMA JUROR REFLECTIONS MenahemPressler express themselves. And these were sometimesgreatpianists of the romantic period. And then you had the absolute contrast of the pianist who would follow the line, who would follow the score very religiously to the point where there was no freedom.

And if that was transmitted to a student, of course,he or she felt that "if I follow the outline completely and if I play cleanly, thats all there is to it."

What you see is what you have. But that's not true. ln music the truest thing is what you can read between the lines, that's yours. And if you can transmit that, you're one of the few, one of the chosen.

Those eternal values, those on which we grow and which make our souls richer and deeper, they will not disappear. There will be changes and no one can foresee the changes.But the eternal values, like a religion, like those words of ShakesPeare,like a phrase of Beethovenwhich will touch our soul to the core, they will not change. So, what it means is that if education is lacking, if the transmittal to the young PeoPle bY the right teacher is missing, then a link will be broken. But it will be found again becausethe eternal truth will live on.

As long as there are people who have a soul, as long as there are PeoPlewho react to what we call love and beauty, that long those works will exist. And those works will also exist as long as there are teachers who are willing to transmit them because they feel that in that way they also have found a way to eternity, a way to be able to live on, becausethe seedthat a teachergives is as important as that which a Performer gives.

You do not have to be a connoisseurto be touched. On the contrarY, if the artist is great, he will touch You becausethe music is just as important and meaningful to your soul as it is to

the so-called connoisseur. As a matter of fact, all of the great successesthese works have enjoyed to begin with happened because there were people who just loved, people who came to have an elevatedexperiencein music' Not becausethey were connoisseurs, not because they knew what the chords were, not because they knew what the form of the piece was, not because they knew there is a reprise coming, but only because theY felt that they were being talked to. And all of a sudden music becomes the language that, without words, can say more than the language with words; the only limiting factor in music is imagination. And if your imagination is great, then great is the music that will speakto you, and you do not have to be a connoisseur.

I think it helped me to be still that hungry for it today, after so many years.

Music had become to me, as a Young man, something verY beautiful in which I could get lost.

THE2OO5 SCREENINGS CLIBURN

Fifth Cliburn L/urine the in 1977, it became clear Competition that the competition's increasingly high international profile would necessitate the Foundation's prescreening the large number of applicants. From 1981 through 1993, a videographer/audio engineer and an administrator recorded screening aud i ti o n s in m ajor m u s i c c e n te rs worldwide, including Chicago, Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York, Beijing, London, Milan, Moscow, Paris, St. Petersburg, Tokyo, and Venice. The videotapes were then screened during the course of one week in Fort Worth by a five-person jury whose task it was to determine who would be asked to compete in Fort Worth.

It was Abbey Simon, a screeningjuror for the Ninth Competition, who suggestedthat the screeningstake place in a live concert setting with the jurors traveling to each location. With everyone in full agreement that there was no technological way to equal a live concert experience,it was logical that the candidates be presented in the most natural performance environment: a live concert open to the public. Beginning with the 1997 Competition, five jurors traveled through Europe and America in search of musicians who possessedthat indefinable gift that emanatesduring a performance and enthralls the listener.

This January and February Marcello Abbado (former director of the Milan Conservatory),Thomas Frost (recording producer), Yoheved Kaplinsky (chair of the Piano Department, the Juilliard School of Music), Jirgen Meyer-Josten (former director of the Bavarian Radio), and Cliburn jury chairman John Giordano began the six-week musical odyssey that would select the competitors of the Twelfth Van Cliburn lnternational Piano Competition. In all, this intrepid team would listen to every note of each forty-minute recital performed by

more than 140 extremely accomplished candidates. They braved the Russian winter, trod the cobbled streets of Utrecht in the Netherlands, and glimpsed snow-covered Alps on their daily trek to the auditions in Lugano, Switzerland. Some managed to find a few off-duty minutes to get a peek at Christo and Jeanne-Claude's saffron gates adorning Central Park during the seven days of recitals in New York. The comforts of first-rate Texan hospitality helped revitalize mind and body during the home stretch in Fort Worth. Any weariness brought on by the intense listening required of the jurors (often until ll:00 p.m.) and the increasing challengesof international travel was more than oflset by a number of spectacular performances,as well as by the great care and superb organization provided by the screeninghosts.

Our colleagues from the Liszt Competition and the staff of the excelIent Vredenburg Center, Jessica de Heer, Peter Tra, and Janneke van Kempe, set the standard during the first screeningsin Utrecht. Hosted by Alexander Tchaikovsky, the rector of Russia'soldest conservatory and well Iooked after by its Glazunov Hall director Lydia Volchek and her charming student assistants,the jury sitting in the balcony boxes of one of the world's most beautiful concert halls, were constantly plied with tea and cakes during their visit to St. Petersburg.SwissRadio'sindefatigable JeannetteBattegayand its enthusiastic musical director Giuseppe Clericetti took advantageof their first-classfacilities to tape all o[ the Lugano screening recitals for delayedbroadcast,providing an additional opportunity for these aspiring artists to come to the attention of new audiences.

and talking about music's positive impact on personal and professional growth. This event was presented in with Rockefeller collaboration University and the Tri-Institutional Noon Concert Series (director, John Gerlach), and many in the audience returned to listen to the forty-four professionalcompetition applicantsinterpret a broad range of repertoire in the ideal setting of Caspary Auditorium.

The Foundation's partnership with Texas Christian University goes back to 1962, when it served as home base for the First Cliburn Competition.

With a corps of experienced volunteers led by the Foundation's Pat Lorimer taking charge of usher duties, jury transportation, and hospitality, and state-of-the-artwarm-up facilities and instruments provided by the University, the Fort Worth screenings attracted hundreds of local fans looking forward to the main event in May.

Hodgkin emerged as a major contemporury artist in the early I970s. In 1985, he won the much-coveted Turner Prize for contemporary British art, and less than a decade later received his knighthood. Howard Hodghin:Paintings 1975-1995,a major exhibition organized by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, premiered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and then traveled to Fort Worth and Dusseldorf, Germany, in 1996. In 2000, Hodgkin was awarded an honorary doctor of letters by Oxford University Born and raised in London, Hodgkin moved to New York at the age of eight, where he visited the Museum of Modern Art, something to which he attributes his initial interest in art.

"My real career as a painter began by looking at pictures in New York," Hodgkin has said. Upon moving back to England, he studied at Camberwell Art School and Bath Academy of Art, where he later taught classes.Hodgkin also taught at the Charterhouse School of Art; was a visiting lecturer at Slade School of Art and Chelsea School of Art; served as an artist-in-residence at Brasenose College Oxford; and was named a trustee of the Tate Gallery and National Gallery in London.

Howard Hodgkin is the fifth artist in the Foundation's history to create original artwork for a Cliburn Competition. Robert Rauschenberg's mixed media work was the first in 1989, followed by Ivan Chermayeff's collage in 1993, Sean Scully's 10.6.93 in 1997, and Tom Phillips' Music World I and Music World II for the 2001 Competition.

The commissioningof Concert was madepossibleby the generousunderwriting o/ Mr. and Mrs. Charles Anton, in memory of their son, Robert E Anton. The Antons have underwritten this competition project since 7989.

VAN CLIBURNINTERNATIONAL PIANOCOMPETITION HISTORY

V Vinning the first Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, at the height of the Cold War in 1958, brought Van Cliburn unprecedented celebrity for an American concert pianist. Cliburn's international victory instilled a fresh sense of artistic pride in many Americans, while opening the door to a new era of cultural relationsbetween East and West. The Van Cliburn lnternational Piano Competition was established shortly thereafter to perpetuate Van Cliburn's unique legacy of demonstrating how classical music, in the hands of a master, has the appeal to reach acrossall borders.

At a dinner banquet in November 1958, Dr. Irl Allison, founder of the National Guild of Piano Teachers, passeda note to GraceWard Lankford, co-founder of the Fort Worth Piano TeachersForum. The note read, "Hold onto your seat, I have a startling announcement!" Standing before a crowd of 500, including Van Cliburn and his mother, Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn, Dr. Allison announced his intention to offer a $10,000 first prize to be awarded by an international piano competition named in Cliburn's honor. The idea caught everyone (especially Van Cliburn) by surprise, and immediately ignited the imagination and enthusiasm of music lovers and civic leaders throughout Fort Worth.

A small corps of volunteers began to raise funds, type labels, and lick envelopesas Ms. Lankford enlisted the support of an astonishing range of politicians, internationally renowned c om pos e rs , c o n d u c to rs , m u s i c i a n s , business Ieaders, and professional educators, in pursuit of what must have seemed an impossible goal: to create a world-class international piano competition in a city still affectionately known as "Cowtown."

However, by l96f the pieces were

The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, first held in 1962 and repeated every four years since, quickly establisheditself as an event that inspiresand engagesthe local community, while gracing the international stage. The Cliburn Competition is one of the few musical events in the world to arrange for competitors to stay with host families, often resulting in close,Iong-term relationships;thus, southern hospitality has become a singular trademark of the Cliburn Competition.

From the beginning, the mission of the Van Cliburn Foundation has been to discover and sustain the world's flinest young pianists. At the First Competition, all six finalists were awarded cash prizes ranging from $500 to $10,000. Yet the Cliburn Competition has always aspired to give these artists far more than a check and a medal-it was designed to help launch careers.The winner of the First Competition was awarded just eight appearances,including a debut at

Carnegie Hall. Today's finalists are awardedthree yearsof concert engagements and management services, enabling them to perform in hundreds of venues both here and abroad, sharing their talents with the widest possible audience.To acknowledgethe high degree of subjectivity inherent in jurors' preferencesamong finalists, an equal cash prize for each medalist and a new scoring system that allows for the possibility of a tie for any medal (up to a possible total of four) were instituted in 2001 for the Eleventh Competition. These changes have helped the Foundation better represent and reward the depth and diversity of talent represented in the top ranks of pianists today.

The international character of this event has grown with the years, often reflecting the changesin political climate and advancement of musical training nationally and internationally The first competitions were dominated by performers from the United States and other nations of the Western Hemisphere. In I98l and 1985, a government boycott prohibit-

ed the participation of competitors from the Soviet Union. For the Twelfth Competition, the Foundation received240 applicationsrepresenting forty countries, including Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Canada, Finland, Israel, Japan, Nigeria, South Korea, and Venezuela. Of the applicants accepted for screening recitals in 2005, twenty-nine were from Russia; China and the United Stateswere each represented by nineteen young pianists.

With the ongoing generoussupport of major international corporations and foundations, the Van Cliburn Foundation has been able to produce award-winning television documentaries about its competitions. These are aired nationally on public television and syndicated on five continents. National and international radio series regularly broadcast prizewinning performances, and major labels such as BMG, Philips, Teldec,and harmonia mundi usa, have distributed recordings and home v ide o o I Clibur n Com p e ti ti o n w i n ners. In 2005, the entire competition will be streamed live on the Internet

by Reflect Systems,making performances available to virtually anyone with Internet access.The Foundation will also hold an online audiencevote after the Final Round of the competition, the results of which will be announced at the Awards Ceremony onJu n e 5 ,2005.

Lympany, Nikita Magaloff, Gerald Moore, John Ogdon, Câ‚Źcile Ousset, Gylrgy S6ndor, Harold Schonberg, Maxim Shostakovich, Soulima Stravinsky, Walter Susskind, Alexis Weissenberg, and Earl Wild. Among the conductors who have shared the stage with competitors are Leon Fleisher, Jerzy Semkow, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski,Walter Susskind,and JamesConlon, who will return for the third time to lead the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in the Final Round of the Twelfth Competition.

However, it is the past winners who have done the most to establish the Van Cliburn Foundation as a leader in the world of classical music- The Foundation looks forward to adding the winners of the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition to their distinguished ranks.

HISTORYOF STEINWAY& SONS Steinway& Sonswas founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street. Henry was a master cabinetmaker who built his first piano in the kitchen of his Seesen, Germany, home. By the time Henry establishedSteinway & Sons, he had built 482 pianos. The first companyproduced piano, number 483, was sold to a New York family for $500.

NWAY& SONS STEf ANDTHECLIBURN:THE TRADITION coNTlNUEs

STEINWAY & SONSPIANOS:THE MAKINGOFA MASTERPIECE

In a unique method used by Steinway & Sons for more than a century, the inner and outer piano rims are bent into the shape of the rim as a single continuous piece. Seventeen hardrock maple layers, each twenty-two feet long, are used to construct the rim of a concert grand piano. The rimbending team centersthe layerson the pressand wrestles the wood into place with the aid of clamps.

The soundboard is a large wooden diaphragm with a wooden bridge centeredon its top side.The piano strings pass over the bridge, and the bridge transfers the string energy into the soundboard.As a result, the sound of the strings is amplified. The soundboard is pressed into the shape of a dome, allowing it to withstand the combined downward force of 1,000 pounds from over 200 strings. The soundboard is expertly tapered by a craftsman to be slightly thinner at the edges so that it can vibrate properly once it is glued to the piano's inner rim.

The voicing process involves minute adjustments to the hammer, which are critical to the piano's sound and the distinctive personality of each Steinway. A master voicer makes adjustments to the hammer'sresiliency by sticking the hammer'sfelt with a small row of needles,reducing its stiffnessand therebymellowing its tone. If the voicer wants to increase the brilliance of the key, he will harden the hammer felt by applying a small amount of lacouer.

Once the soundboard and cast iron plate are in the piano case,the piano is ready for its strings. The stringer inserts a wire through the hole in a tuning-pin. A machine guided by the stringer turns the pin three times, wrapping three wire coils around it.

The pin is then placed through one o[ the more than 200 holes in the cast iron plate and driven into the pinblock.

Established during the Sixth Cliburn Competition in 1981, the TCU/Cliburn Piano Institute is now an annual summer event attracting serious post-graduatelevel piano students from around the world. Directed

by TCU artist/faculty member Tamds Ungiir, this four-week program gives young artists a special opportunity for artistic growth through interaction with internationally recognizedteachers and performers, as well as public performance in a variety of formats.

During Cliburn Competition years, the Institute invites jurors and other prominent competition personnel to participate in career-building seminars and professional symposia to broaden participants' understanding of the music industry and other aspects related to a concert career.

The Foundation'smutually rewarding partnership with TCU has extended into the classroom and studio of this all-Steinway School.

The Van Cliburn Competition Archive, housed on the secondfloor of Mary Couts Burnett Library on the TCU campus, is the only established archive for any musical competition.

Under the watchful eye of Laura Ruede, the archive preserves more than four decadesof the Foundation's history including sound and video recordings, music scores, press clippings, photos, and other materials documenting the evolution of one of America's premier classical music events.

KTCU FM 88.7, the University'sradio station, has provided live coverageof the Van Cliburn Competition for the past quarter-century. During the Twelfth Competition, KTCU's direcror of classical music, Rosemary Solomons,will be joined by TCU fac, ulty members Richard Estes, Curt Thompson, Harold Martina, and Jose Feghali to discuss the music heard in eachphaseof the competition.

The exemplary partnership between Texas Christian University and the Van Cliburn Foundation remains a cornerstone of the competition. The resulting great music and outstanding educational opportunities would not have been possiblewithout the unwavering commitment and far-reaching vision of the university's trustees and administration,including chancellors M.E. Sadler,JamesM. Moudy, William E. Tircker, Michael R. Ferrari, and Victor J. Boschini, Jr. The Cliburn is deeply appreciative of their rremendous individual efforts and collective support of the Foundation'sactivities.
