Suite for Flute and Piano
Suite for Flute and Piano
C. Grandval: Suite for Flute and Piano was published in 1876 and dedicated to Paul Taffanel. Most likely The Suite was composed when Clémence was in her 40s when she was one of the most played composers within the Société Nationale de Musique at that time. The Suite represents a typical work of French Romanticism and reflects the influence of Chopin, especially in the piano part.
The suite consists of five movements: Prélude, Scherzo, Menuet, Romance, and Final, each movement of the suite showcasing different aspects of the flute's capabilities.
Grandval Clémence
Clémence de Grandval (1828 – 1907) was a French composer. Born in a well-to-do family where father played piano and mother wrote and published stories, she was surrounded by many artists that visited their home during her childhood. She took composition lessons from Friedrich Flotow and composition and piano lessons from Frederic Chopin. Later she studied composition with Camille Saint-Saëns who even dedicated his oratorio Oratorio de Noel to Clémence. Even though she was wealthy, most of her compositions were published under pseudonyms like Caroline Blangy, Clémence Valgrand, Maria Felicita de Reiset and Maria Reiset de Tesier.
Overall she composed 5 operas, several cantatas and oratorios, Oboe concerto as well as several chamber music compositions and songs. In 1880 she received Rossini prize for her oratorio La fille de Jaïre. During the 1870s she was one of the most played composers in the Société Nationale de Musique, created for promoting French music at that time.
