The Peter Takács Beethoven Prize in Piano: Final Round

IN-PERSON ONLY

Named for Professor Peter Takács and the composer whose music has been a pivotal source of inspiration throughout his career, this annual competition presents standout student pianists in performances of Beethoven.

The Final Round is free and open to the public. This round will showcase recital performances of up to six pianists who advance from a closed preliminary round. Pianists will perform two major works by Beethoven.

The pianists are competing for prizes—the Peter Takács Beethoven Prize ($5000), the Leon Fleisher Prize ($3500), the Howard Karp '51 Prize ($2000), and up to three finalist prizes ($750/each).

This year's final round judges are Daniel Shapiro and Norman Krieger.

The Peter Takács Beethoven Prize is made possible by the Steve and Linda Rosen Family.
