This year, the category of piano solo was once again featured in the Austrian national youth music competition “prima la musica”. At this year’s edition held at the Johann-Joseph-Fux Conservatory Graz in Styria, I am delighted to have had three outstanding young pianists from my piano class participate, each of whom was awarded with gold, silver, and bronze respectively. Warm congratulations to Sanjin Čorhasanović (Bronze), Nikolaus Haslmayr (Silver), and Julius Legat (Gold and Regional Winner)!
