THE CHOPIN COMPETITION 2025 AS A CULTURALEDUCATIONAL MODEL OF AN INTERNATIONAL ART PROGRAMME: REQUIREMENTS, ASSESSMENT AND PEDAGOGICAL VALUE

Abstract

These theses provide an expanded analysis of the 19th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition (Warsaw, 2-23 October 2025) as a contemporary international cultural-art programme combining competitive practice, global expertise, public cultural communication and a strong educational effect. The paper outlines participation requirements, selection structure, jury work and assessment logic, prize system and its motivational impact. A pedagogical perspective is added: how competition standards (stylistic accuracy, stage endurance, interpretive maturity) can be translated into teaching and learning strategies for piano training within performance and methodological courses. Practical educational tools are proposed (criteria-based rubrics, “mini-rounds”, reflective practice diary, simulated performance stress) relevant to the Bachelor programme 025 “Music Art”. Tables summarise the competition schedule, stages, assessment focus and pedagogical implications.
