French Piano Music

[Jean-Séb]

Thank you, Musiclife.This album does not seem easy to find. I did not know there was a volume 2. I also have a copy in different old albums of the most famous pieces, but I may miss the four following ones.


A Merry Peal - Valse Joyeuse [a.k.a. Chimes At Twilight] / Jules de Sivrai [pseud. Jane Rockel] (not French by the way)

Boutons de roses, polka mazurka de salon, op. 92 / Ludovic -- (not French either, but Belgian)

Studio, op. 66 / Chaminade -- (YES, French !!!)
I see that Gamma has recorded it, but I am surprised not to find it in my files.

Tyrolienne, Op. 100b / Beaumont-- (I believe he is English)



By the way, I found on the web these that I had not :

Tarantelle, op. 40 / Ludovic -- (Belgian by the way)

[...]Studio, op. 66 / Chaminade -- (YES, French !!!) I see that Gamma has recorded it, but I am surprised not to find it in my files.[...]

This should be changed - Studio published by Wood and Enoch. I bet you prefer the Enoch Edition .

Chaminade,C.-.op.066.-.Studio-(pno-ed.-Preston-Wood-Edition-1898).pdf

Chaminade,C.-.op.066.-.Studio-(pno-Enoch-Edition-1892).pdf

Wow, thank you, FW190 !

This is great, thank you for reviewing this.

The only one that I am missing is the G. Ludovic [pseud. Gobbaerts]

Boutons de roses, polka mazurka de salon, op. 92

Perhaps it can still be located or scanned.

Smith, Sydney (as Paul Beaumont)-Op. 100b-Tyrolienne.pdf

Rockel, Jane (as Jules de Sivrai)-WoO-Valse Joyeuse-A Merry Peal (a.k.a. 'Chimes At Twilight').pdf

Thanks for these, but note these are both English pianist-composers with French pseudonyms (and I suspect Sivrai is a pun)

The way things are going in England at the moment I think many English people would want to be French...

Thank you again for reviewing these... yes, French "inspired..." in the French "style." Many 19th Century patrons probably wouldn't have been aware of the many pseudonyms being used and obviously wouldn't have access to the info that we have now. Louis Gobbaerts and Franz Behr sure had a lot of pseudonyms! And yes, Paul Beaumont was the pseudonym of Sydney Smith.

yes, French "inspired..." in the French "style."

There's a lot of that going around, like the 1970s French pop song I found in a Russian volume of "1930s dance music" (published in the 1980s).

Is the link correct ? It shows Daniel Inventari "Biblioteca de Catalunya. Secció de Música. Inventaris", but I fail to see the Rockel work.
Thank you for the link to Sydney score.

That is strange, I’m sorry, let me re-up.
