[TRUMPET SOLO] Piece de Concours, Guillaume Balay

Looking for a classic trumpet piece for your next performance or exam? Look no further than Guillaume Balay's "Piece de Concours"! This iconic piece is a staple on jury lists, required repertoire lists, and conservatory exam schedules around the world.

Balay was a talented cornet player who served in the French military, winning first place in the 1894 Cornet Award competition at the National Academy of Music in Paris. His compositions, including the popular "Prélude Et Ballade," were widely recognized in the cornet and brass repertoire of his time.

"Piece de Concours" is known for its beautiful French lyricism and offers plenty of opportunities for experimentation in the cadenza sections. While flashy, it's not too difficult, making it the perfect piece for trumpet players coming up through the ranks.
