The 1st International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments was the inaugural edition of the International Chopin Competition in the piano class, held on September 2–14, 2018 in Warsaw on period instruments, organised by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute.
The competition was won by Tomasz Ritter from Poland.
[2] The competition ended on September 14 with the winners' concert.
The idea of the competition is to perform Chopin’s music on instruments it was composed for.
Unlike the International Chopin Piano Competition on contemporary instruments, the pianist could perform individual pieces on various instruments (maximum of three).
