I think for over a hundred years, the Paris Conservatory awarded "Premiers prix"; a contest which consisted in playing a piece that was written for each year's first prize for every instrument taught at the Paris Conservatory. This gave us Debussy's Première Rhapsodie, the Saint-Saëns Clarinet Sonata, etc. The compulsory pieces as of the 70s could be quite demanding and avant-garde. This contest -as far as I know- no longer exists. What are your favorite pieces composed for this occasion? Some are good, bad, indifferent. There were also pieces written for a Paris Conservatory sight-reading exam, some of which were quite good (the delightful little Debussy piece).
