French Piano Music

[Jim Faston]

Nice find J-S - many thanks.

Fresh scans. Very little information about the composers.

Gagneur Deux Poèmes.pdf

Francmesnil Nocturne.pdf

Gagneur is most likely a woman composer, Lucie Gagneur.

[Jean-Séb]

Thank you, Naturlaut for these two mysterious compositions. Never heard of Lucie Gagneur, nor could I find any indication on her, apart from two copyright registrations for children pieces. I don't know either Francmesnil but he is at least duly known by the National French Library.
Edit : L.Gagneur is mentioned by the BNF, for the same pieces as Lucie Gagneur :

For those interested in Charles-Marie Widor's piano music, you might like to know that I and my co-editor have just released our 7-volume edition of his complete piano works - further information and sample pages are available here. http://www.crescendomusicpubs.com.au/widorpiano/

cheers,

Yes, congratulations.

This transcription has been made available for free download by the french pianist Yves Henry (he has made also a record of it). A new attempt after those of Sandor, Garban, Staub, Leyetchkiss ....
