Mélanie Chasselon - Nocturne "Abandon"

[@HairyMatD]

@Gamma1734 Mélanie Chasselon was born in Ligny-en-Barrois (East of France) in 1845 and died (single) in the same town in 1923. She was a music teacher, Ligny's church organ player and choir director.

@@catherineanstett126 C'est vrai qu'en grandissant, cours de solfège, cours de piano etc, il ne m'est jamais venu à l'idée de me demander pourquoi tout ces compositeurs sont des hommes, enfin pourquoi donc? Je ne me rappelle pas avoir vu une seule partition écrite par une femme, c'est abérrant de notre point de vue moderne. Ah si, Clara Schumann me viens en tête, mais c'est sûrement grâce à la notoriété de son mari qu'on en entends parler. Moi j'ai pas demander de grandir dans un monde sexiste, et si j'ai pu paraitre idiot ou méprisant par ce message, je m'en excuse.

Bonjour et merci infiniment de cette très charmante et sensible interprétation, restée dans les justes limites (pas trop de rubati, pas trop de pathos) . Veillez m'excuser, je ne parle pas anglais. Mélanie Chasselon, compositrice et organiste, née le 2septembre 1845 à Ligny en Barrois, morte dans la même commune le 30mai 1923. Son oeuvre est publiée chez Heugel a Paris, ce nocturne "Abandon" y fut publié en 1873. Un très grand merci à vous

[@ewhyte8059]

As we stray from John Field, Frederic Chopin and JeanHenri Ravina we discover gems strewn across the transitional divide between the classical era and the piano based singer-songwriter era to follow half a century or so later. There is no doubt classical music in Europe (for want of a better descriptor) culminated to a peak that laid unshakable foundations for future ballads by numerous later to be called artists of the 1940s onward and beyond even now. From a social point of view what a luxurious lifestyle it must’ve been to frequent small and medium-sized classical gatherings between the early 1800s and early 1900s. The foundations for what we know as modern music would be diligently, Studiously and passionately laid by a basket full of composers learning , evolving and building off that which had come up to 200 years before. I 100% appreciate finding these lesser-known/lesser celebrated composers from an era in which they were holding their own.🙏🏽

[@Ojuglas]

I am so grateful for the gift of Music.

[@PianoScoreVids]

basic truth. even in the bible already music was very significant, for example did Saul not throw His spear when he heard David play on the lute, because it calmed him down. Music affects our soul

[@Luke_Templeman_Pianist]

So in regards to her life dates, it should be noted that it says (fl. 1873-1906), and the “fl.” is important. It means she “flourished” during that time, meaning that the first date is not her year of birth, but possibly the year of her earliest known piece, which seems to be this one.

[@Sytarie]

It looks like the piece Fleur aimée valse de salon op. 20 was published in 1882 and Mrs Chasselon probably didn't compose it at 11 years old. My guess would be that she's way older than 1873 then. It's a shame we can't get much information about her but it might lead somewhere to contact Wise Music Group though, as they currently own the Heugel Editions which published most of her works.
