• Information publique sur la sélection (French)

16 scores were received: 6 published scores and 10 unpublished scores.

We would like to express our thanks for the kind cooperation of publishers Gerard Billaudot (Paris), Edizioni musicali RAI Trade (Roma) and Edizioni Sconfinarte (IT-Rovato).

On receipt of the scores, they were anonymised and given a number instead of the composer's name.

2 scores were eliminated during the administrative procedure;
14 anonymous scores were examined by two professional violinists, who selected the pieces they wished to include in the Villa's 2015 collection for violin solo:

• Nicole Leon, violin solo / Venezuela
• Franck Della Valle, violin solo / France / Orchestre de chambre de Paris

Results of the selection process:

Karol Beffa, composer
