Those were the 2003 repertoire requirements. They need to release the 2007 soon… that stuff takes a long time to learn.

A few of the pieces are re-occuring though-

Messiaen - Vingt Regard #10
Ravel - Gaspard de la Nuit
Ligeti - just know the entire Etudes Book I or II and you’ll be fine, heh

I believe Aimard won the Messiaen a long time ago, although it might have been another competition.
