Cécile Chaminade - Caprice-impromptu, Op.153

Here is more Chaminade! Her works should be more known. This piece was composed 1914. So I worked on this for quite some time now, and this is the level I could achieve after "reasonable" studying this piece. In my opinion it definitely approaches Chopin Etude difficulty, of course not the really difficult ones, but... at the right tempo, you will notice some issues with fingering etc., although it is written very pianistically (as always with Chaminade). Personally I liked the metric modulation (so to speak) in the middle section, where she explicitly writes, the groove goes on as it was, but we have a 3 over 2 situation now. There are some wild passages, but also beautiful lyrical moments. Very effective composition, shows her skill as composer well :)

Exceptional music that has agitated emotions and at the same time real feminine warmth ... Beautiful Chaminade, excellent performance👏👏👌

My mother was a music teacher and Chaminade was one of my mother's favorite de-composers. She liked to play Chaminade's piano music.

C.Chaminade is, undoubtedly and whatever the period, the most talented women composers!

[@pilouetmissiou]

A lot of people say she is only a salon composer but this is only snobism in this affirmation..

One of best Chaminade pieces together with Toccara op 39. Warm interpretation.

Rondeurs du son et volupté féminines, romantisme exacerbé : j'entends le cœur d'une femme qui ronronne dans ces notes. Tout simplement envoûtant !

Hi Gamma. I’m wondering if you would like to play some of my pieces. I am a composer in Australia. Eg ruclips.net/video/pWYFWUepyNM/видео.html
I’ve been looking for a more proficient player to play some of my pieces. They are simpler than much of what you record, but similar to Chaminade, I have strong melodies and often romantic. Thanks again for your great recordings of Chaminade. I am starting to learn some of them, cheers Grant

Excellent recording, thank you!

Великолепные переливы!

[@fredhoupt4078]

BRAVO! Was this performed by M.A. Hamelin? If so, then he has all the technique in the tool kit in order to bring this vibrant music to life. What a fantastic piece with some mind boggling tonal hops, skips and jumps. I have to print off the music and have a go. Wonderful.

[@PianoScoreVids]

I played it - your comparison with the great MAH really keeps me going to discover these forgotten gems!

[@arlarl7176]

Eine Menge "spanische Gitarren" in dem Stück. Sehr interessant!

[@simpliciussimplicissimus]
