This is actually not Francœur but Arnold Trowell! 100 years after Francœur's sonata, Trowell decided to replace the second movement with his own work. So, this is a partial forgery really.
Wow, I just googled this and it seems that you're right. Thanks for sharing! "A generation later, in 1924, Arnold Trowell transcribed this sonata for cello. His publication was freely altered and highly edited, which was common practice in that time. Trowell deleted the entire "Corrent' and replaced it with his own composition, an 'Allegro Vivo', very much in the classical style. A fellow named Martin Griffiths found the admission in his diary for 1956…"(I imagine that he was by this time embarrassed about the fact and could not admit it publicly). This transcription honors the original manuscript by Louis Francoeur, including the Corrent deleted by Trowell." www.ovationpress.com/p-631-sonata-iv-in-e-major.aspx
@@uxnosidda Yeah, it's funny. I saw your comment on some cello video & clicked on your account. I saw this video and a Patrice O'neal video. And, I thought "this person has good taste, so let click on this Francœur video." And, this movement is kind of nice, so I had a thought to transcribe it for my kid to play on saxophone, which led me to this forgery business. I edited Wikipedia, too. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Francoeur#Compositions) Now the world can know a bit more than before. And, it's all thanks you! Cheers.
@@uxnosidda I just read Martin Griffiths's dissertation on Trowell. It seems that he also altered the last Gigue movement as well. And, apparently, another person, Fritz Kreisler, also forged his own work under Francœur's name. It's all on wikipedia now.
I think that’s one of the most memorable moment of Mr. Fournier.
Great. All cellists should see this.
I learned one thing in this video: some works you should never try to play by reading. Some have to be from memory.
