Category 1: Open Solo - No Age Limit
There
are four categories each, of five levels
- a total of 20 Events, with contestants performing the same music in each event

All
pieces are pre-selected. Contestants may enter any and all levels as they
choose.
For this category, the stated music editions will be used as the "official music" for all judges throughout the competitions. If a contestant is using a different edition, they must check carefully to make sure the music is not critically different from the official edition.
All contestants must perform music designated for their events. Any contestant playing a wrong piece, they will be disqualified to win a prize in that event.
For this category, music must be performed from memory. NO REPEATS are allowed, unless instructed clearly.
