Eminent music critic Paul Hume analyzed the first Van Cliburn Competition in the Saturday Review for October 27, 1962. Fort Worthers were enormously proud of that notice, reprinting it shortly afterward (Cliburn Contest Earns City Worldwide Note, Fort Worth Star-Telegram). |
A handy list of participants, winners, and other information is drawn from Gustav Alink's International Piano Competitions, volume 3. Currently, The Cliburn has a list of winners for 1962, including biographical updates and an online program book.
The list earlier displayed on the Cliburn Foundation website differs somewhat from the results published in Alink's book, possibly due to some "first stage" (preliminary) contestants having withdrawn.
