Music from the Paris Conservatoire
The Paris Conservatoire’s rigorous curriculum for training both singers and instrumentalists lead to a wealth of musical treasures in the form of sight-reading works and the longer contest pieces composed specifically for the end-of-year examinations, which culminated in a public prize competition, the Concours du Conservatoire. The solos composed for these examinations constitute the first extended series of compositions for woodwinds, brass, and harp in music history, being composed nearly annually for each instrument beginning in the 1830s. The wealth of musical treasures resulting from this systematic accumulation of works represents the historical core of these instrumental repertories today.
