II International Chopin Piano Competition
The II International Chopin Piano Competition () was held from 6 to 23 March 1932 in Warsaw. Popular with the public, it attracted correspondents from all over the world, not least because of the high-profile composition of the competition jury. Soviet pianist Alexander Uninsky was awarded the first prize, after winning a coin toss against Imre Ungár, who was awarded second place. Guest of honor was Maurice Ravel, who performed his Piano Concerto in G major and La valse during a concert on 11 March. Awards
