Chopin Piano Festival The Chopin International Piano Competition can be called the Olympics in the music world. It is one of the most famous, strictest and highest-level piano competitions in the world. It is held every five years in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and has a history of more than 70 years.

It not only records the youthful glory of modern pianists, but also witnesses the immortal legend of piano performance in the 20th century.

The piano competition adds another touch of legend.
