Hi! I would like to know if the following piece by Prosper Van Eechaute (1904-1964), Poème Nocturne for Horn and Orchestra, could be uploaded to IMSLP. I have a handwritten manuscript of the score, with no indications of copyrights for whom the copist might have been (the composer?). It was composed...

Thank you! It's information I was just made aware in the past few days.

I've got about 23 sight-reading pieces in manuscript form ready to be uploaded. Would you like to write a template to connect them with the "Morceaux de concours" page?

Indeed, it's only a list of composers. I have some of the material but only for the horn, unfortunately. It's still good to know that all of these pieces, or rather what is available, is there.

These pieces are at the Archives Nationales (France) and not at the BnF like it could be expected. https://www.siv.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/siv/rechercheconsultation/consultation/ir/consultationIR.action?formCaller=GENERALISTE&irId=FRAN_IR_054422&gotoArchivesNums=false&default...

I have found a list of about 30 short pieces that were used for sight readings at the Concours at the Conservatoire, some of which were written by famous composers such as Massenet, Dukas and D'Indy. Do you think we should add them to the "Morceaux de Concours" page or create an entirely n...

Shall I put surnames of composers first (the ones who don't have a IMSLP composer page), so as to allow searching by their last names?

It looks very nice! Do you believe stopping at 1950 is a good idea? We could possibly go until present too.

Do you think it might be a good idea to do different pages for every instrument? It might become overly crowded as there are virtually thousands of pieces to be added to the list? Just wondering...

Also, it might be nice to include a section at the top with the names and dates of activity of the teachers at the Conservatoire. It would read as follow (more or less, corrections to be made): Natural Horn Antoine Buch (1795-1802) Jean-Joseph Kenn (1795-1802) Heinrich Domnich (1795-1817) - Class ab...

Thank you so much! A bit of a stupid question: the template (with or w/out dates) needs to be added manually to every piece that is the library, right?

Thank you so much! I've started a little bit, but I will do more in the next few days. What would you suggest doing with the years with two composers/pieces?

I'm glad you like the idea! Yes, I do have a list. From 1824 to 1900 it is included in Pierre Constant' book "Le Conservatoire national de musique et de déclamation" on pages 641 (natural horn, or cor simple) and 645 (piston horn/cor à pistons). Furthermore, I have a list from 1900 to 2006...

Hello there! I have been uploading lots of work for horn, many of which were "Pièces de Concours" at the Paris Conservatory throughout the 19th and early 20th century. I was thinking it might be a nice and useful resource to have a page listing all the imposed works at the Conservatoire fo...

Hello, I have been wondering if there is a way of keeping track of the new additions for one particular instrument (in my case, the horn). I have been working over the past few months to enrich the repertoire available, for the natural horn. It would be a great tool to be able to know when new piece...
