The most important thing AMADEUS started for me – within me – was to love music, to embrace it fully, with all my heart and all my life. Compe��ons are not always about success. They are also about experience, hard work, encounters and about being open.

Jan Čmejla

The AMADEUS Compe��on deepened my love not only for the music of Mozart but for music as a whole. I hear�ly recommend this compe��on to all pianists that love playing and love Mozart's music as much as I do.
