Cécile Chaminade - Arabesque No.1, Op.61

[@pablowilliams8016]

Beautiful! My grandfather, the musician Alberto Williams assisted in London 1890-1900 to a concert by Cécile Chaminade and wrote a protofeminist article in a journal of Bs.As. about it, praising enormously this great pianist and composer .

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

No sabía eso de Alberto Williams !!

[@sabrinagonzalez5718]

Great! Can we read that article?

[@sina2253]

The inflection/color change in the arpeggio at 2:52 is so beautiful. I'm touched!

[@goldberg72]

La parte iniziale è fiabesca , un tema stupendo

[@jaypoison]

Yeah i'm getting angry, I spent 8 years studying music in university, trying to get into classical / romantic etc since I came from a completely different background... And no teacher ever mentioned the works of Chaminade. This speaks to me so much more than anything Chopin ever wrote, that recurring theme is insane and the whole thing is a rollercoaster.

[@PianoScoreVids]

Interesting story... her music is really diverse, I am trying to play and record most of it!

[@jaypoison]

@@PianoScoreVids thanks a lot for that, seriously.

[@cooltrades7469]

Maybe as you say ...you did not really get into the classical/romantic music so you did not get to Chopin.Just maybe.Possibly:-).

[@jaypoison]

@@cooltrades7469 I... did get into that music, this is literally what I'm saying, I spent 8 years studying it. I'm angry that pieces written by women were completely overlooked for the entirety of my education, because this speaks to me more than the ones I was taught about. I have no idea what you tried to say but I'm clarifying, I guess ?

[@jaypoison]

@alberlos... My posts are still here, you can still read them? I literally just said that this touches ME more than Chopin, I never ever said anything about Chopin's qualities, this is a different topic.

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

this piece is unique. It has elements of Arabian, 20th Century, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt! Really amazing

[@AsrielKujo]

My god such a well written piece i keep listening to

[@PianoScoreVids]

It's really nice

[@marcelcharbonnier297]

Wonderful. I discovered this French female composer (whom I knew only by name) thanks to her Concertino for the flute, which I heard this morning on (French) Radio Classique.

[@thechilledonion9313]

Mais, c'est du bon son ça ! Avec la partition, c'est parfait. Merci !

Chaminade songs are great. But this piece is so cool, thanks for uploading this!

[@kniazigor2276]

C.Chaminade est, sans conteste et quelque soit la période, la plus douée des femmes compositeurs ! C.Chaminade is, undoubtedly and whatever the period, the most talented women composers!

[@pietrolandri6081]

Well .... listen to Lili Boulanger.... and you'll discover an even more talented woman composer....

[@olga_piano]

You're the best at playing this on KZbin! Because you felt the piece better than others and you play every part of it unique. Thank you for enjoy!

[@edgybread1618]

That main recurring part sounds so epic. This piece feels so confused, like it goes from sounding like the heros final stand to completely resolved in 5 seconds over and over again

[@manyfungus]

[@PianoScoreVids]

Thanks! Hope I can upload more interesting and unknown piano music.

[@nw8387]

I've listened to a lot of recordings of this piece, and this is my absolute favorite. The sound is so clean and soft, especially in the middle registers-what kind of piano are you playing on, if you don't mind my asking?And your playing is precise and disciplined, but so expressive as well! I'm just very impressed, and I love this recording-thank you for posting it, it's a treasure!

[@PianoScoreVids]

Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed it. It's the "the giant" library from Native Instruments, I think.

[@pmwkiy6879]

Thank you for introducing me to another new composer. I had and still have a score of Chaminade which I found difficult to play forty years ago. I wonder if it is the Chaminade!

[@davidyoung6331]

I find it curious that so many piano composers ignore duplication of notes in the treble and bass clefs. Listen at 2:56. In the score the right hand plays c, a, f, e flat (top to bottom) half notes. On the second beat, the righthand plays the f and e flat again, even though those notes are sustained in the treble clef.

[@nasirferguson4098]

It’s phrasing and voicing. Also instructs on the pedaling

[@deolindapinhogarciabertolo707]

As obras de Cecile Chaminade são ,sem dúvida ,MARAVILHOSAS!!Sua execução primorosa!Bravo!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@felixbng]

Amazing piece ! The motif at 2:00 really reminds me of the opening motif of Beethoven's third sonata

[@HowardEllisonUKVoice]

Such lively talent, so overlooked in more recent times. New to me until UK's Radio 3 played her Callirhoe symphonic ballet last week. It's on a Dutton CD / SACD with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Highly enjoyable and, wouldn't you guess?, unrecognised by Shazam!

schizophrenic? in architecture there is the term eclecticism, mashing different things/styles together which often don't mix very well. romantic music is generally very experimental and freeform (in contrast to i.e: renaissance music, where suspense is carefully crafted). classical music on the other hand has comparatively lack of sophistication when it comes to texture, baroque (especially late era) a lack of rhythmical variation.
