Cecile Chaminade - Automne, 2nd etude op.35

[cedricrlongreen]

Can someone post the recording of Chaminade's "Nocturne op.165" I swear it's the hardest piece to get a hold of which is surprising since it was her last piece.(1925)for piano.

i watch this vid every now and then to get ideas on interpreting this piece. still as lovely as the first time i saw it! bravo!

[lucamadeus]

@kingjepoy thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked it! :)

[evanch94]

[vaclavtrojan]

Musica meravigliosa! Grazie per questo video!

Nel 1949 avevo ascoltato questa melodia per la prima volta nella Radio. Ma era una versione per orchestra, hanno detto che si chiama "In Autumn, by Herbert Spencer". Soltanto 20 anni fa ho saputo che era originalmente per pianoforte, di Cécile Chaminade. Era la prima volta che sentii questo nome! C'è qualcuno che conosce una versione per orchestra di questa étude, op. 35?

[lucamadeus]

grazie mille! sì, il pezzo è bellissimo...purtroppo non so dove trovare la versione orchestrale...

[pernicious65]

Very nice...studying this type of music in class...

[lucamadeus]

[MrJJ1992]

Thank you so much for posting it!

[lucamadeus]

[yapoojp]

So beautiful...

[lucamadeus]

Mille grazie per questa bella musica. Ho anche una CD con una versione di "Automne" con orchestra. E' del compositore belga Paul Uy. 60 anni fa avevo ascoltato una versione per orchestra di un certo Herbert Spencer. Non ho mai più sentito quella versione.

[lucamadeus]

grazie mille, è un bellissimo pezzo, non sapevo esistesse anche una versione per orchestra

[indelibo]

You must tune that piano before you make such a beautiful performance worthy of publication. The A flat at the end makes me cringe every time I hear it.

[lucamadeus]

you're right, I'm sorry, my Kawai was totally out of tune... thanks a lot!

[DraculaMoi18]

i play this song myself, but i haven't played it for a long time. Hearing you play it makes me want to play it again. It's very beautiful.

[lucamadeus]

i'm happy that you want ti play it again! thanks a lot!

Mi sono permesso di mettere il video di Chaminade "automne" nei miei favoriti! Da quando avevo 17 anni, questa melodia non cessa di inseguirmi. Dire grazie sarebbe poco!

[lucamadeus]

grazie a te! in effetti è un brano davvero molto bello e troppo poco eseguito!

[ImHerbst]

In 1949, I listened to this melody on Radio of the American Forces in Germany (AFN). But it was a version for orchestra, called "In Autumn" by a Herbert Spencer. This melody "haunted" me all my life. Only 15 years ago I learned that it was originally for piano and by Chaminade. It was the first time I even heard that name! Does anybody know whether there exists a version for orchestra?

[mmombeek]

nice done! listen also to my version!

[Richarderry]

Fantastic! I used to play this as a young boy - a very old and tatty copy which eventually fell to pieces. 45 years on you have inspired me to find another copy! Thanks.

What a great version and interpretation. Lovely!

I must learn this piece! As long as you don't need size 14 hands!!!

[trigalg693]

You don't ;) My friend played it. It's pretty friendly.

[pno4tay]

Beautifully played.

[flugelmaniac]

very nicely played ,with sensitivity.

Personally I would prefer more volume for the central 'storm'

[reemiremiremi]

coolness , most beautiful piece song

bravo!

[Ludovic98]

Ce pianiste est doué d'une exquise sensibilité, celle requise pour interpréter les oeuvres de Cécile Chaminade, comme celle des autres compositeurs de l'époque de Fauré et Debussy.

Mais, qui est ce pianiste de grand talent ?

[yanman3]

Beautiful, this piece is a little-known gem.

[spanka]

i won an eisteddfod with this piece when i was 16 (20 now) so it's fairly dear to me.. only thing i would say is make more of the melody in the con fuoco (B) section, because it's still very melodious, just much darker and more aggressive.. LOVED your A sections though, you did awesome things with the melody there.. thanks for posting this.

[slartibartfast1]

Thank you, This was my mothers favourite peice and she requested it played at her funeral. A very difficult peice for me to listen too, but beautifully played.

[Andreea29]

Thank you very much for sharing! This is amazing! :)

[RavenAmongDoves]

Thank you for posting this! There are not enough of Cecile Chaminade's piano pieces on youtube! You play excellently.

[proflautist101]

i love chaminade. i particularly love her concertino for flute. it sounds so french and romantic...

[voxceleste8]

Thank you for sharing Chaminade with us! I don't know of many people who have an appreciation for her music. I came across an old collection of piano pieces at an antique store and purchased it. Please post more of her works for us to enjoy.

Sweet as usual, Lucamadeus. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day
