is on the works of the patron Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer.

Dotzauer, the son of a priest, was born January 20, 1783 in Häselrieth near
Hildburghausen in Thuringia/Germany. After two years of intensive study with
Hepner and Kriegk (a student of Duport), he made his concert debut in
Hildburghausen and thereafter found his first job in the Orchestra of
Meiningen. At the age of 22 he moved to Leipzig, where he played with the
Orchestra and founded a string quartet. In 1811 he joined the famous
orchestra of the Hofkapelle Dresden, where he was solo cellist for 29 years
until his death March 6, 1860.
As a composer, Dotzauer worked in several areas. Although most of his
compositions have been forgotten, his technical studies are an important part Die Schule für den guten Ton
of the cello education. No cellist before or since Dotzauer has produced so
much study material. In addition, he published the six solo suites of Johann
Sebastian Bach for the first time.

The results of the Competition will be determined by a renowned jury. The

combined total of prize awards the winners will receive is 9.000 €.
