    I just love this piece. My niece, who played piano a s a child and teenager, once became bored of piano lessons and than I showed her this video and she was so delighted that she immediately started to study it. And what shall I say: she made it and continued with her lessons several years. Thank you so much, it's so beautiful.

    I can't project how much this scrumptious piece of romantic music means to me. When I hear it I instantly feel uplifted and like I can walk again - it reminds me of better days. Days of dancing in the rain to Chaminade's great works. The feeling I get must be like when the youths look at the 'memes' !! Oh frabjous day callooh callay - utterly charming as I think Arthur Birling once said

    Both Chaminade's music and that of Moskowski seems to have been composed with both the pianist and listener in mind; Ponti once remarked that Moskowski fits like a pianist's glove. A real beauty and Hamelin seems a little more better recorded than Jacobs in this one. Let's hope that Hamelin puts out a complete disc of Chaminade soonest...

    It's amazing what happens when a musician scrupulously follows the composer's indications in the score: Hamelin plays MINUTE 03:39 fortissimo, as indicated, and it's very strong and proper in expression, even though it's a simple chorale. It could be that he's the only pianist featured in this piece who CAN play the piece generally as indicated by the composer.

      I'll avoid generalizing, as it seems we both value people being to the point, and thus ask where you are from feeling content to go with the "you stupid/idiotic Americans" line.
      What is the harm in asking if others share my opinion?
      What if it was just me with this thought? Do I not have the right to ask?
      In your opinion, which you seem willing to express, does this sound like Alkan to you?

      Exactly! I can swear I'm almost remembering another, much more popular, maybe even classical, maybe even piano composition with that progression at 0:50. Shame I can't, though. It's I IV V iii vi ii V I in A / shortchord.org/UlRRx (the penultimate chord and/or inversions may and will not be accurate).
      Wikipedia has something very similar: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi%E2%80%93ii%E2%80%93V%E2%80%93I
      Schubert's Op 90 no 2 has a similar movement, but it's definitely not it from the melodical sense: ruclips.net/video/pGbh_oAwuOE/видео.html

      +Eurisko Lontano To me, it bears a striking resemblance to many of Francois Poulenc's compositions...although it would seem that this was written the year before Poulenc was born, so perhaps he took inspiration from her.

      @phebus2005 4 года назад

      She met George Bizet in her early years, a friend and neighbor to Chaminade’s father (in Le Vésinet) who was himself a wealthy CEO to a French insurance company.
      Bizet incidentally heard little girl Cécile, and she soon was introduced to Emmanuel Chabrier who then insisted that she belonged with the Paris Conservatoire, the sooner, the better. But her father strongly refused, stating that the Conservatoire was no place for a lady. She then took private lessons carefully watched by Bizet himself, and those mentioned here.
      In my opinion (and even though St-Saëns and Le Couppey took care of her talent too), Chabrier must have made her a great impression and remains the closest to her art, and her main influence.
      Nothing but Chabrier’s piano works reminds me more of Chaminade’s impressive creation.
