Adriano Nogueira - Artistic and pedagogical director An Organization Crescendo Escolas de Música II International Online Meeting of Pianists Crescendo Crescendo International Online Piano Contest July 3 and 4, 2021 Presentation After the success of the first edition, it is with great satisfaction that we announce the II International Meeting of Online Pianists Crescendo (IIEIPOC), to take place on the 3rd and 4th of July 2021, on the social networks Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and Zoom. The objectives of the II International Meeting of On-line Crescent pianists are to encourage the practice of the musical repertoire of literature for piano, from the 18th century to the present day at home, through the presentation of concerts, masterclasses, magnates classes, interviews, music training sessions for piano teachers and conferences on the most diverse aspects of the practice of the instrument, from reading at first sight, to the health of the musician, to the training of piano teachers, from historically informed interpretation, to the practice of music contemporary, among others. IIEIPOC also presents the “Crescendo International Online Piano Competition”, also in the online modality, being an opportunity to stimulate piano students and amateurs of all ages. In addition to the usual classifications of the 4 different levels of competition, divided into ages, the prizes for best interpretation of Brazilian music and for best interpretation of Portuguese music are attributed, in order to stimulate the interpretation of music from the two Portuguese speaking countries. The first place in the Pianist of the Year category will be given the opportunity to present 5 concerts in Europe and Brazil, as well as an invitation to present the opening recital of the 2022 edition of EIPOC. To innovate this edition, we will have another cycle of presentations, called Magna Class, where some important figures, already consecrated in the history of music, from Portuguese- speaking countries, among them composers, pianists, teachers and researchers will be interviewed. More than a sincere tribute, the Magna class is a moment of history. For this section, the following names are confirmed: in Portugal, the pianist Adriano Jordão and the composer Sérgio Azevedo; in Brazil, the composers Ronaldo Miranda and António Ribeiro, the pianists Eduardo Monteiro, Clelia Iruzum, Linda Bustani and Ney Fialkow and professor Marisa Lacorte. The new presentation model of the masterclasses section remains in the hands of guest teachers of artistic and pedagogical excellence and will be thematic, according to the specialization areas of each pianist, with live and free transmission, on the event's YouTube page. In each 45-minute masterclass session, only one selected piece will be covered, with an active participant in the festival, allowing the dissemination of structured and current knowledge in the areas of performance and teaching piano. The virtual classroom, on the Zoom platform, will still accept listening students, according to the modalities of participation in the event. In the second edition, the festival's faculty is composed of: Catarina Domenici (UFRGS / Brazil), Érika Ribeiro (Unirio / Brazil), Stefanie de Freitas (UFMG / Brazil), Beatriz Alessio (UFBA / Brazil), Gisele Pires Mota ( UnB / Brazil), Bernardo Santos (WPTA-Portugal), Diana Vieira Botelho (Portugal), Marta Menezes (Portugal), Pedro Sperandio (Germany / Brazil), Daniel Inamorato (USA / Brazil); Yuri Pingo (Brazil); Mauren Frey (UFPEL / Brazil); Lucas Gonçalves (Instituto Fukuda / Brazil), Helen Gallo (Escola Municipal de Música de São Paulo / Brazil), Paulo Meirelles (France / Brazil), Steven Chervenkov (Portugal / Brazil). The section of the Initial Piano Teacher Training course, which will be broadcasted live on the Facebook page, will feature the presentation of important researchers from the field of Pedagogy of the Piano, in which pre-registered participants obtain a certification from Escolas de Música Crescendo. We have the presentations of Carla Gorni, Daniel Inamorato, Mauren Frey, Carla Reis and João Paulo Casarotti. We also announce the call for academic papers, open to all those interested in presenting video classes and previously unpublished , pre-recorded and edited conferences, for the presentation on the event's Instagram page , with a maximum duration of 10 minutes per session. IIEIPOC seeks works related to the history, practices, teaching and interpretation of music written for piano. IIEIPOC opens a real-time online living space, allowing the interaction of amateur students, teachers and pianists, spontaneously, through the chat of pianists on the Piano WebBar page, through the Zoom platform, in Portuguese. IIEIPOC participants may be invited during the festival for conversations and interviews on the event's Instagram page, to disseminate knowledge and experiences in the academic and performative areas of the piano. In order to democratize access and knowledge about the practice and life around the piano, anyone can have access to IIEIPOC's publications on IIEIPOC's social media pages, integrating our community of pianists, in Portuguese. For some types of participation, a certification is issued by Escolas de Música Crescendo – Oeiras e Estoril.

In the same way that we encourage the continuation of the tradition of the practice and domestic consumption of piano music, we believe that the mediation of new technologies changes the paradigms of sociability and aesthetic appreciation of musical performance, and no comparison between the modalities of online piano contests and face-to-face piano contests is recommended. In this sense, the “Crescendo On-line International piano competition” seeks excellence in interpretations based on the sequence of works in a single video, without the need to perform the entire repertoire without breaks, in a single take. It is the objective that candidates have time and availability to listen through the various recording attempts, so encouraged in teaching contemporary piano, perfecting their skills and abilities in the practice of playing piano, even if the manipulation of the recording's image and sound is not allowed. In the same sense as the II Encontro Internacional de Pianistas On-line Crescendo, all recordings must be made in a home environment and recordings on a traditional stage (auditoriums) or in concert with a public present are not allowed. Recordings made in personal studios or classrooms, on any type of 88-key piano, acoustic or electric, will also be allowed in order to democratize access to participation in the competition. The “Crescendo On-line On-Line International Piano Competition” still has the mission of encouraging and promoting
