For the competition, the musicians are required to present works selected from those written by 56 Polish composers mostly active in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with music by famous composers such as Chopin, Paderewski, Górecki or Penderecki, and also less well-known names such as Antoni Kątski, Eugeniusz Pankiewicz and Stefan Kisielewski, including Polish female composers Maria Szymanowska and Grażyna Bacewicz.
