OPTIONS for the score

  • SOLO

    Solo piece for recorder (also Paetzold recorder), intended to be played by a professional recorder player, amplification accepted, no other form of electronics permitted.

    For composers of Category A only.

  • DUET

    Duet for recorder and another instrument, without electronics

    For composers of Categories A and B.

  • ENSEMBLE

    Recorder ensemble, without electronics.

    For composers of Categories A and B

All the pieces except the solo piece are intended to be played by children and young adults from 8 to 18 years of age. Therefore the challenge for the composers who write a duet or a recorder ensemble is to adapt the technical difficulty to the level of young players without neglecting the artistic standard of the composition.

Contemporary musical language is to be preferred, in order to allow the interpreters to discover and familiarise themselves with today’s universe of new sounds.
