Gustav is travelling a lot. This is necessary in order to hear the latest news and to have reliable information and details from the international competitions, and to keep in touch with many people in the Piano World, such as the contestants, the jury members and organisers.
Also in 2012, Gustav intends to visit a whole range of competitions again, such as the ones in Pretoria - UNISA (AAF), Orléans (AAF), Plzen - Smetana (AAF), Dublin (AAF), Zurich - Geza Anda, Zwickau - Robert Schumann (AAF), Sydney, Ettlingen (AAF), Bergen - Grieg (AAF), and quite a few more.
February 2012: the beginning of the month, Gustav is still in South Africa, attending the UNISA Int'l Piano Competition (AAF) in Pretoria. After only a few days at home, he will travel again, to attend the Piano Campus Competition(AAF) in Pontoise (France). Later in the month, he will receive several competitions organisers at the AAF office in The Hague, as they asked for consultation and advice. Then, Gustav will travel back to France again, to attend part of the international piano competition that focuses on 20th and 21st Century music in Orleans (AAF).
January 2012: this month, Gustav finished the new AAF catalogue. It became a very comprehensive publication with 200 pages full of detailed information about the 132 AAF member competitions. As soon as the first copies came out, Gustav started sending them out to thousands of pianists, piano teachers and competition organisers all over the world. A few days later, Gustav travelled to South Africa, to attend the second half of the UNISA Int'l Piano Competition (AAF) in Pretoria.
