But his family's hopes were quickly disappointed and his studies led to a series of failures in the examinations: a second prize with the first movement of Schumann's Second Sonata in 1877, then no prize at all in 1878 and 1879. His vocation as a pianist was abruptly cut short, which […]

Sunday, March 27, 2016 You can listen to the Classical Music Almanac Podcast Daily here. Birthdays Vincent d’Indy In 1851 Vincent d’Indy was born in Paris. He was born into an aristocratic family of royalist and Catholic persuasion. He had piano lessons from an early age from his paternal grandmother, who passed him on to Antoine François Marmontel and Louis Diémer. From the age of 14 he studied harmony with Albert Lavignac. At age 19, during the Franco-Prussian War, he enlisted in the National Guard, but returned to musical life as soon as the hostilities were over. The first of his works he heard performed was a Symphonie italienne, at an orchestral rehearsal under Jules Pasdeloup; the work was admired by Georges Bizet and Jules Massenet, with whom he had already become acquainted. On the advice of Henri Duparc, he became a devoted student of César Franck at the […]

Happy birthday Gabriel
Everyone knows Debussy, Ravel, Satie… but Gabriel Pierné? He was born in Metz on August 16, 1863 and died on July 17, 1937 in Ploujean. What else? He was born into a musical family: his mother was a piano teacher and his father a voice teacher. Impossible to escape destiny here! He will of course take lessons at the Conservatoire de Paris in piano, organ and composition under Albert Lavignac, Antoine François Marmontel, Émile Durand, César Franck (he will replace his teacher at the Sainte-Clothilde Church upon his passing) and Jules Massenet. This is also where he met Claude Debussy, who would remain a close friend. He led a stellar career as a conductor. He was head of the Concerts Colonne from 1910 to1934 and championed contemporay works by Debussy, Ravel, Roussel, Stravinsky… He also premiered works for orchestra by Louis Vierne, Georges Enesco and Darius Milhaud. He composed in all […]

Calixa Lavallée
You may know Calixa Lavallée (1842-1891) as the composer of Ô Canada, our country’s national anthem , but did you know he was also a conductor, a pianist and a teacher? He studied in Quebec but soon moved to the US after winning a competition. He came back to Montreal briefly, before a public subscription enabled him to spend 1873-5 in Paris, where he studied piano with Antoine-François Marmontel and harmony and composition with Bazin and Boieldieu fils. Little is known of his stay in Paris, except that he composed a series of studies for piano, including Le Papillon, on the study list of the Paris Conservatory , still performed by young Canadian pianists in competition. This work subsequently went through numerous editions in Europe and America, continued to appear in collections and anthologies, and was recorded several times, as early as 1908 by Frank La Forge. Lavallée returned to […]
