Why? The organization committee and partner via Beethovenfest of the competition is Nike Wagner. She gave Mauser place for a concert with moderation in her festival. And she is member of the Mozarteum-board which appointed Mauser as rector of the Salzburg-Mozarteum-University and which had to separate from the elected after the first trial. So she picked him up as a kind of redemption? Who knows. He is a pronounced interpret of Mozart-Sonatas and contemporary music. He is also known for the two judgements for sexual assault on a female staff member/professor. And some institutions are acting in a way as would he be still the official noble and honored person he was before: German business as usual, no consequences.
No wonder there are ‘safe spaces’!!! For this man it is obviously prison.
