The competition was born from an idea of the Director Franco Brusini who saw a need especially in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, for musical competitions for young people under the age of 20 years. The idea behind the Competition is to verify the quality level of music teaching in Italy, comparing it with musical schools of other European countries.
Therefore, the competition aims to be a moment of encounter between students of different music schools and, at the same time, of verification and comparison of the levels acquired by each, in a correct competitive spirit, encouraging children to study music and contributing to the affirmation and qualification of new talents.

For wind instruments, participants must perform a compulsory piece, indicated in the list attached to the regulations, and a chosen piece with a difficulty appropriate to their category or a higher one. The piece of free choice can also be for solo instrument without the obligation of piano accompaniment.
For percussion instruments, participants in categories A and B will have to perform a compulsory piece on rhythmic or melodic percussions chosen from the two indicated in the list attached to the regulation and a freely chosen piece on rhythmic or melodic percussion without having to use both types of percussion.
Participants in categories C and D will have to perform a compulsory piece on rhythmic or melodic percussions chosen from the two indicated in the list attached to the regulations and a freely chosen piece on rhythmic or melodic percussion, with the constraint of using both types of percussion (For categories C
and D only, therefore, if you have chosen the compulsory piece for rhythmic percussion, then the free choice must be for melodic percussion or vice versa).
The competitor must hand in the scores of the pieces of free choice in 5 copies (also complete with any piano accompaniment); copies, if requested, will be returned at the end of your performance group, with the exception of one which will remain in the competition records. It’s not necessary to play by heart.
