Louis Aubert Ravel Fauré Duparc Moritz Moszkowski Lucien Wurmser 1877 1902 1911 1913 1967 1968
I have played through quite a few waltz-caprices over the years, and this one - by Aubert, the pianist who went on to premiere Ravel's 'Valses Nobles et Sentimentales' in 1911 is one of the finest of the genre. The best way to characterise it is to say that it is what might have come about had Fauré and Duparc collaborated on composing it, and brought in a little help from Moritz Moszkowski towards the end. The piece was published in 1902 and dedicated to the pianist Lucien Wurmser +••.••(...)), also a pianist-composer worth investigating, Louis Aubert +••.••(...)) was born in the same year as Wurmser and studied and taught at the Paris Conservatoire. Some of his orchestral works are available on CD, but he is little-played, and copyright restrictions arising from his longevity mean that any large scale renaissance is unlikely. Most of his music was for the stage, and he wrote a once-popular fairy tale opera, 'La fôret bleu'. His best-known piano work is 'Sillages', also premiered by Wurmser (in 1913). Incidentally, given their parallel careers and lives, Aubert and Wurmser might be a good subject for a joint biography. / / Played by Phillip Sear (http•••) (Email: •••@••• WhatsApp: (http•••) )
André Wormser Lucien Wurmser Manuel Falla 1851 1875 1876 1890 1907 1926
Continuing my sporadic survey of Prix de Rome winners, here is a piece by the 1875 laureate, André Wormser (not to be confused with fellow composer Lucien Wurmser). Wormser +••.••(...)) was also apparently a banker, and wealthy enough to have his wife and children painted by Édouard Vuillard (I assume that there may be some family connection to the current Banque Wormser Frères). He wrote in many genres, and one of his best-known works was his pantomime L'Enfant prodigue (1890). Manuel de Falla worked as a pianist on a 1907 touring production of this work in France and Switzerland. Apparently he received rapturous applause for his solo performance of the overture to the work at a location where there was no orchestra available. The set from which this piece comes was itself extracted and arranged by the composer from a larger set of 12 pieces for piano duet first published in 1876. / / Played by Phillip Sear (http•••) (Email: •••@••• WhatsApp: (http•••) )
