Every three years, the atmosphere is full of the sound
of violins in Augsburg. This is the time when upand-
coming violin stars from all over the world participate
in the Leopold Mozart International Violin
Competition, playing before a renowned jury and
competing for the coveted Mozart Prize. The list of
previous first-prize winners is a long one, and includes
such outstanding names as Isabelle Faust, Benjamin
