Guy Sacre (born 1948) is a French composer, pianist and musical critic.
He is best known for writing La Musique de piano, a critical census of a large part of the piano repertoire, dealing with some 4,000 works by 272 composers.
In his compositions, Guy Sacre tries to reconnect with the French musical tradition: he is the author of Vingt-Quatre préludes and Mélodies after poems by Paul Verlaine, Jean Cocteau and Guillaume Apollinaire.
With Billy Eidi he created the association "Contrechants" intended to rediscover an unknown repertoire ("Piano au Palais-Royal" concerts from 1991 to 1995, in collaboration with the Bibliothèque nationale).
Guy Sacre is also author of radio broadcasts (Radio Suisse Romande) and conferences centered on themes of musical and literary aesthetics, such as "la musique et les éléments", "Vigny et le silence", "Apollinaire poète du souvenir", and the "masques et bergamasques" which gather Fauré and Debussy around Verlaine and Watteau.
