Chopin Piano Competition in Marianske Lazne – CZ, Festival of Young Performers „Mlade podium“ in Karlovy Vary – CZ, Festival of International Competitions laureates in Prague – CZ, Interforum – HU, Beijing Festival in China etc.)

 

She has given concerts in the Czech Republic, Hungary, England, Germany, Croatia, Austria, Ukraine, Romania, Lithuania, Georgia, Finland, USA and in China.

 

"Paulechová is a representative of the top middle generation of Slovak pianists. She is in the full bloom of her talent and showing major creative abilities. What appeals to the critics is the clarity and intelligibility of her articulation, wide spectrum of colours, evocative drawing of lines, sense of a fragile lyricism and deep empathy, and passionate drama too, drawing on an infallible memory and masterly technique."
(Vladimír Čížik: Dictionary of Slovak Concert Art Vol. I, Hudobné centrum Bratislava 2002, p. 102)
