List Of Compositions By César Franck
Most of César Franck's works seem to have been published during his lifetime, although only 21 works received a publisher's opus number. The mature published works were catalogued by Wilhelm Mohr in his Franck Werke Verzeichnis (FWV). He divided Franck's compositions into two main groups: instrumental works, M.1-48, and vocal works, M.49-91, arranging them by genre, and by composition date order within each genre. The CFF catalogue (see #External links, § External links) compiled by Joël-Marie Fauquet (published in 1999) details almost every known work by Franck, including many not listed by Mohr. In addition, many dates are listed in Fauquet's catalogue that are incorrect in Mohr's, or missing altogether. Juvenile works Franck wrote a number of juvenile works between 1834-7 to which he assigned an opus number; he later disowned all these early works, except for the Premiere Grande Fantaisie for piano, Op.12 (1836), which he occasionally played in later life. These opus numbe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

String Quartet (Franck)
The String Quartet in D major is the only string quartet composed by César Franck. The work was written from 1889 to 1890. Background The creative life of Franck is broadly divided into three periods. During the first period (1841–1858), when his ambitious father forced him to be active as a virtuoso pianist, Franck wrote works for chamber music, including four piano trios numbered as the composer's Opp. 1 and 2. Franck received advice from Franz Liszt, who commented, about 40 years later, on hearing an Organ (music), organ performance by Franck at Sainte-Clotilde, Paris, "How could I ever forget the composer of those trios?" However, during the second period (1858–1876), when Franck dedicated himself to the organ, he did not compose any notable works for this genre. Franck’s masterpieces, including the Piano Quintet (Franck), Piano Quintet F minor (1879), the Violin Sonata (Franck), Violin Sonata A major (1886), and this quartet, were written in the third period (1876–189 ...

Les Djinns (Franck)
''Les Djinns'' FWV 45 is a symphonic poem for piano and orchestra by César Franck. Composition The pianist Caroline Montigny-Rémaury had asked for a short piano and orchestra piece, but she never played the work that Franck composed in the summer of 1884. It was premiered 15 March 1885 by Louis Diémer as the pianist, in a concert at the Société Nationale de Musique. The work is inspired by the eponymous poem in ''Les Orientales'' by Victor Hugo. The latter often inspired Franck (melodies, and his first symphonic poem ''Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne'', composed in 1847–1848, at the same time as the work by Franz Liszt from the same inspiration). Franck takes up the idea of the mysterious and supernatural forces tearing the nocturnal sky through their passage, and especially the singular rhythm of Hugo's poem, rising from calm into a sonorous storm, before falling back into the silence of the night. The piano part is very virtuosic, and Franck so liked Diémer's inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Le Chasseur Maudit (Franck)
(''The Accursed Huntsman'') is a symphonic poem by César Franck. The sections of the work are: # The Peaceful Sunday Landscape # The Hunt # The Curse # The Demons' Chase The piece is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B-flat, 4 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets in F, 2 cornets in B-flat, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, tubular bells, cymbals, triangle, bass drum, and strings. It was inspired by the ballad (''The Wild Hunter'') by the German poet Gottfried August Bürger. It tells the story of a Count of the Rhine who dares to go hunting on a Sunday morning, in violation of the Sabbath. As the piece begins, the count defiantly sounds his hunting horn, despite the warnings of the church bells and sacred chants which call the faithful to worship. Deep in the woods, the count is cursed by a terrible voice which condemns him to be pursued by demons for eternity. The Kennedy Center describes the story this way: Franck's orchestration evokes the dark, fantastic atmos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Les Éolides
''Les Éolides'', List of compositions by César Franck, (Op. 26), FWV 43, CFF 127,The opus number wasn't used by composer when he published the piece. is a symphonic poem by French composer César Franck written in 1876 and premiered the next year. Its approximate duration is 11 minutes. Background The initial inspiration for the piece came from a poem by Leconte de Lisle about the Aeolids, daughters of the keeper of the winds Aeolus (son of Hippotes), Aeolus. The work, begun early in 1875, didn't go well until Franck came for summer vacation in Languedoc. He finished the piece in September 1875 and revised it in 1876. The instrumentation was completed on 7 June, but a performance was a difficult task, as at that time the ''Société Nationale de Musique'' rarely organised orchestral concerts. The piece was premiered on 13 May 1877 on the 70th concert of the ''Société'' in the ''Salle Érard'' (Paris). Although he had mauled Franck's oratorio ''Rédemption'' some years earlier, ...

Critics (e.g. Harold C. Schonberg) and colleagues (e.g. Sergei Rachmaninoff) alike placed him among the supreme piano virtuosi of his day, alongside Leopold Godowsky, Moriz Rosenthal, Josef Hofmann and Josef Lhévinne. Early and later life Born to an itinerant Jewish musician in "Podgórze near Kraków" (currently a district of Kraków – his birthplace exists at the Kalwaryjska str. 22) as a son of Nachman (sometimes ''Wolf'' or ''Wilhelm'') Freudmann, sometimes ''Freudman'' (born in Monasterzyska, now Ukraine, July 10, 1857) and Salomea Eisenbach (born in Krakow March 26, 1854), Ignaz Friedman was a child prodigy.

Harold Bauer
Harold Victor Bauer (28 April 1873 – 12 March 1951) was a noted pianist of Jewish heritage who began his musical career as a violinist. Biography Harold Bauer was born in Kingston upon Thames; his father was a German violinist and his mother was English. He took up the study of the violin under the direction of his father and Adolf Pollitzer. He made his debut as a violinist in London in 1883, and for nine years toured England. In 1892, however, he went to Paris and studied the piano under Ignacy Jan Paderewski for a year, though still maintaining his interest in the violin. An anecdote reports that Paderewski jokingly told Bauer to concentrate on the piano because "You have such beautiful hair". In 1893, in Paris, he and Achille Rivarde premiered Frederick Delius's Violin Sonata in B major. During 1893-94 he travelled all through Russia accompanying the noted soprano Mademoiselle Nikita and giving piano recitals and concerts, after which he returned to Paris. Further re ...

Grande Pièce Symphonique
''Grande Pièce Symphonique'', Op.17, FWV 29, is an organ work by French composer and organist César Franck. Written in 1860–62, it is the second and, at an average duration of 25 minutes, the largest piece from '' Six Pièces pour Grand Orgue''. It is dedicated to the composer Charles-Valentin Alkan. Background The ''Six Pièces'' are an important work of the composer, marking the beginning of the second period of his career and predicting the flowering in his later creative life. His long struggle on the comic opera ''Le Valet de ferme'' (1851–1853) ended with a disastrous failure of the production and a disappointment, which paralysed Franck's activity as a composer for several years. The influence of the new Cavaillé-Coll organ at Sainte-Clotilde, Paris, for which he was appointed first organist in 1859, encouraged him to resume composing. Japanese composer Akio Yashiro found out that, in comparison to the C major ''Fantaisie'' Op.16 (''Six Pièces'', No. 1), Franck no ...

6 Pièces Pour Grande Orgue
6 (six) is the natural number following 5 and preceding 7. It is a composite number and the smallest perfect number. In mathematics Six is the smallest positive integer which is neither a square number nor a prime number; it is the second smallest composite number, behind 4; its proper divisors are , and . Since 6 equals the sum of its proper divisors, it is a perfect number; 6 is the smallest of the perfect numbers. It is also the smallest Granville number, or \mathcal-perfect number. As a perfect number: *6 is related to the Mersenne prime 3, since . (The next perfect number is 28.) *6 is the only even perfect number that is not the sum of successive odd cubes. *6 is the root of the 6-aliquot tree, and is itself the aliquot sum of only one other number; the square number, . Six is the only number that is both the sum and the product of three consecutive positive numbers. Unrelated to 6's being a perfect number, a Golomb ruler of length 6 is a "perfect ruler".
