       Some research about the music competition. More research should be
done to find the publisher or location of all of these works.

       Music
       A single event for music was held until 1936, when three categories
were introduced: one for orchestral music, one for
       instrumental music, and one for both solo and choral music. In 1948,
these categories were slightly modified
       into choral/orchestral, instrumental/chamber, and vocal music.

       The juries often had trouble judging the pieces, which were entered
on paper. Possibly related to the problematic judging, juries
       frequently decided to award only a few prizes. On two occasions, no
award was given out at all (in the 1924 music category and in
       the 1936 instrumental music category).

       In 1912 the Barthelemy March was played as the athletes left the
stadium. In 1936 the winning musical works were actually played
       before an audience.

       Some well-known musicians to have competed are Josef Suk winning a
silver medal in 1932; Werner Egk winning a gold medal in 1936;
       John Jacob Weinzweig winning a silver medal in 1948.
