The 2026 edition highlights four distinctive pianistic voices, each presenting a dedicated set tailored to demonstrate technical command and artistic interpretation:

The performance continues with atmospheric twentieth-century selections from Respighi, including the Nocturne from Six Pieces and Three Preludes on Gregorian Chant (No. 2).
