Miloslav Gajdoš(1948-)
Introduction and Fugue in D(C) major

I participated in the 29th Leoš Janáček International Competition in Brno, Czech Republic in September 2023. It was my first international competition. I was lucky enough to win Honourable Mention(5th prize) and Special prize of the jury for the best interpretation of a composition by Miloslav Gajdoš in 29th Leoš Janáček International Competition in Brno. I decided to record it upon my return to Germany out of respect for him🤗
