The 1st International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments - the inaugural edition of the International Chopin Competition in the piano class, which was held on September 2-14, 2018 in Warsaw on period instruments, organized by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute.

30 pianists from 9 countries were invited to participate in the competition. The auditions were divided into two stages, which took place on September 4-6 and September 8-10, and the final concerts lasted from September 12-13. The competition was won by Tomasz Ritter from Poland. The competition ended on September 14 the winners' concert.

Period piano instruments Pianists could choose the piano they played during the competition from among five instruments selected by the jury. The Érard piano, which chose 21 pianists, then followed by Pleyel - 19 pianists, Buchholtz - 13 pianists, John Broadwood & Sons - 10 pianists and Graf - 3 pianists. It is worth adding that the pianist - unlike the International Chopin Piano Competition on contemporary instruments - could perform individual pieces on various instruments (maximum of three).
