Music competition
A music competition usually takes place in front of a public audience and a jury. Often the best rated participants are honored. Competitions often take place in several rounds; The number of participants is continuously reduced until only a few competitors remain for the final round, in which the winners are then determined.
There are classical music competitions for solo instruments , for singers (depending on the pitch) and for choirs . Usually - as in sporting competitions - the first three are awarded. Most of the competitions are organized for the piano , violin and cello instruments . Also, find conductor's and composition competitions instead.
The World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) ( World Federation of International Music Competitions ) based in Geneva belong to 128 music competitions. Among other things, the WFIMC coordinates the dates of the competitions.
A newer form of television music competition is talent shows .
