Pieces Breves Op. 39 for flute and piano

By Mouquet Jules

Jules Mouquet: Pieces Breves for flute and piano, Op. 39 was written around 1920 and published by Editions Henry Lemoine (Cinq Pièces Brèves) in Paris in 1925. The piece is dedicated to renowned flutist Léopold Lafleurance, a fellow professor at the Paris Conservatory.
The mid-1920s represented a period where Mouquet focused on pedagogical and "character" pieces for his colleagues and students. Unlike his early large-scale prize-winning works, Op. 39 reflects the "French Flute School" demand for shorter, evocative recital pieces that displayed both lyricism and technical control.
While younger composers like Les Six were moving toward Neoclassicism and Jazz influences, Mouquet remained a "Late Romantic" traditionalist. His work in 1925 continued to utilize the fluid chromaticism and Greco-Roman imagery that defined his earlier successes

Mouquet Jules

Jules Mouquet (1867-1946) was a French composer and educator primarily remembered for his evocative woodwind compositions that blend late-Romantic lyricism with the burgeoning Impressionist style of the early 20th century.
Born in Paris, he studied harmony under Xavier Leroux and composition with Théodore Dubois at the Paris Conservatoire, winning first prizes in harmony, fugue, and composition. In 1896, he won the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome for his cantata Mélusine. This allowed him to live and study at the Villa Medici in Rome, an experience that deeply influenced his fascination with classical antiquity and Greek mythology.
Upon his return, Mouquet was appointed Professor of Harmony at the Paris Conservatoire, a position he held for decades.
His music is characterized by its "pastoral" quality. Unlike some of his contemporaries who moved toward radical modernism, Mouquet maintained a refined, melodic approach that favored clarity and mythological themes.
He composed numerous "concours" (competition) pieces for the Conservatoire, as well as orchestral works like the symphonic poem "Diane et Endymion". For flutists, Mouquet is best known for his three-movement sonata "La Flûte de Pan," Op. 15 (1904).
