International

for Young Cellists

October 13 - 20, 2019

Dotzauer, the son of a priest, was born January 20, 1783 in

Häselrieth near Hildburghausen in Thuringia. After two years

of intensive study with Hepner and Kriegk (a student of

Duport), he made his concert debut in Hildburghausen

and thereafter found his first job in the Orchestra of

Meiningen. At the age of 22 he moved

to Leipzig, where he played with the

Orchestra and founded a string quartet. In

1811 he joined the famous orchestra of the

Hofkapelle Dresden,

where he was solo cellist

for 29 years until his death March 6, 1860.

As a composer, Dotzauer worked in several

areas. Although most of his compositions

have been forgotten, his technical

studies are an important part of the

cello education. No cellist before or

since Dotzauer has produced so

much study material. In addition,

he published the six solo suites of

Johann Sebastian Bach for the first

time.

RULES OF PARTICIPATION

All cellists up to the age of 20 are invited to participate.

The Competition is divided into four age categories:

under 12 years old

12 - 14 years old

15 - 17 years old

18 - 20 years old

The age of participant is that on the first day of the Competition (Octo-

ber 13, 2019). A participant may compete with an older group if she or

he wishes.

There will be two rounds in Categories I, II and III and three rounds in

Category IV.

All works must be played from memory (with the exception of duo so-

natas) and without repetitions (with the exception of baroque sonatas).

Since all three rounds of the Competition are open to the public, con-

cert dress is required. The Competition will be held in the Sächsisches

Landesgymnasium für Musik Dresden.

Official piano accompanists and, for the second round of Category II, a

guitar accompanist are available for the competition.

15 € (cat I/II), 30 € (cat III/IV) are charged for calling on the services of a

piano accompanist. This fee covers the cost of the pianist‘s preparation

time. In case the accompanist has been booked but is finally not requi-

red, the fee is being forfeited. You can also have an accompanist on your

own expense.

Those who advance to the second round will have their accommodati-

on paid after this point (max. 25 €). Those accompanying a participant

must pay their own costs. Participants must organize their own accom-

modation.

The prize winners are required to perform in the Competition concerts

without payment. The participants do not have recording rights and

may not make claims if a performance is recorded and broadcast.
