Founded in 1995, the International Competition for Young Pianists in Memory of Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989) commemorates the legendary pianist born and educated in Kyiv every two years. But in 2023, impossible to organize the competition in Ukraine because of the war. It therefore took up residence in Geneva, the headquarters of the World Federation of International Music Competitions.
On the shores of Lake Geneva, 28 international pianists carefully selected from 300 candidates have been competing since last Thursday. The competition has chosen to remain open to all participants regardless of their nationality. A Russian pianist and a Belarusian musician therefore participate in the competition, but all are asked to refrain from discussing the conflict.
Promote fair play
The nine-member international jury (see box) is chaired by Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits, who wants to promote fair play. “Today nothing is easy, but I think that the conditions of this competition are very fair. We gave everyone the opportunity to express themselves and that is important”, indicates the maestro to RTS .
For the Ukrainian pianist in competition Roman Fediurko, hosting the competition is a strong gesture on the part of Geneva. He sees it as “a sign of solidarity with Ukraine from the World Federation of International Music Competitions and probably from musicians around the world”.
Talking regarding Ukraine differently
Above all, the competition wants to let the music do the talking and give talented pianists the chance to practice their art. But it also offers the opportunity to talk regarding Ukraine differently. “When we say Ukraine, we think of war today. Here we have created another atmosphere, we are talking regarding Ukraine in another context”, continues Kirill Karabits.
The final of the Horowitz competition will take place on Friday at Victoria Hall in Geneva, in the presence of the Orchester de la Suisse romande and the Kyiv National Symphony Orchestra.

iOS 17 might well disrupt the habits of iPhone users. Because with the next iOS update, Apple may well be forced to open its mobile operating system. To comply with the new European regulations on the digital services market, Apple might finally authorize the installation of applications without going through the App Store. In any case, that is what Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who is generally well informed when it comes to Apple, understands.
This practice, known as sideloadingwas until now only possible following a jailbreak as a rule of iOS. But with the opening of iOS to competing stores, iPhone users should soon no longer have to perform the slightest hack to install applications by freeing themselves from the App Store. The operation should also prove beneficial for developers. By bypassing Apple’s application store, they will no longer need to pay the 15 to 30% commission usually charged by Cupertino.
The sideloadinga security risk?
Apple has always refused to open iOS to third-party application stores. And to justify this choice, Cupertino always used the same argument: security. Now forced to comply with the Digital Market Act (or face a heavy fine), Apple must find a way to open iOS to sideloading while ensuring the safety of iPhone users.
Offering more freedom to users while guaranteeing the security of their data and the protection of their privacy is a real headache for Apple engineers. But the Cupertino company has more than one trick up its sleeve. Because in addition to the implementation of new tools, Apple might also require certain security prerequisites to authorize the installation of applications outside its store. And finally, these be housed in the same boat as the applications offered in the App Store. Last December, Mark Gurman indicated that in order for applications to be installed on iOS without going through the App Store, Apple might require verification in good standing before authorizing their distribution. And this verification would not be without compensation. It would indeed represent a certain cost for developers, which would allow Apple to compensate for the absence of the commission it usually charges on its application store.
