Melodie for flute and piano
Melodie for flute and piano
Marcel Mihalovici: Melodie for flute and piano was written in 1958 and dedicated to Janine-Leduc, a prominent French patron of the arts and music publisher closely associated with the Parisian wind music scene.
Despite the title "Melodie," the piece is harmonically dense. It utilizes asymmetric rhythms and modal scales characteristic of George Enescu’s influence, creating a "shimmering" and restless atmosphere.
In 1958, Mihalovici was an established "elder statesman" of the École de Paris, a group of immigrant composers that included his close friend Bohuslav Martinů. This was a year of professional stability for him, having recently received the Grand Prix de la Musique de la Ville de Paris (1955), which allowed him to focus on more intimate chamber works.
While the Parisian avant-garde was dominated by the serialism of Messiaen and Boulez in 1958, Mihalovici pursued a unique middle path. Melodie reflects his interest in expanded tonality, which uses chromatic, winding lines that feel modern yet retain a haunting, folk-inflected melodic core rooted in his Romanian heritage.
Around that time, Mihalovici was working closely with his wife, the celebrated pianist Monique Haas. This partnership deeply influenced the sophisticated piano writing in Melodie, which is treated as an equal, symphonic partner to the flute rather than mere accompaniment.
Mihalovici Marcel
Marcel Mihalovici (1898 – 1985) was a distinguished Romanian-born French composer and a central figure of the École de Paris. His work is characterized by a sophisticated synthesis of Romanian folk modalities, neoclassical structure, and post-war chromaticism.
Born in Bucharest, Mihalovici was raised in a highly cultured environment. He showed early prodigious talent on the violin and began his formal studies at the Bucharest Conservatory under the guidance of Dimitrie Cuclin. A defining aspect of his youth was his relationship with George Enescu, the patriarch of Romanian music. Enescu recognized Mihalovici’s potential and encouraged him to move to Paris, the epicenter of the musical avant-garde, to refine his voice.
In 1919, Mihalovici moved to Paris and entered the Schola Cantorum, where he studied composition with Vincent d’Indy.
Mihalovici became a founding member of the "Triton" contemporary music society and the École de Paris, a group of immigrant composers including Bohuslav Martinů, Tibor Harsányi, and Conrad Beck. This circle sought to integrate their diverse national backgrounds into the French neoclassical aesthetic.
Mihalovici’s style is "atonal but not dodecaphonic," relying on asymmetric Balkan rhythms and chromatic lyricism. He famously collaborated with the writer Samuel Beckett on the opera Cascando.
Overall, he composed two operas, five symphonies, and a substantial amount of chamber music.
