| Added by magataganm, 07 Sep 2012 A. Hasselmans was born in Liège on 5 March 1845 and died in Paris on 19 May 1912. he was a French harpist and composer of Belgian birth. As solo harpist with the orchestras of the Paris Conservatoire, Opéra and Opéra-Comique, and as professor at the Conservatoire, he played a significant part in the harp revival at the turn of the century; he wrote about 50 pieces. The will o' the wisp (fool's fire) refers to ghostly lights seen at night or twilight that hover over swamps or bogs in still air. They look like a flickering lamp and seem to recede if approached. This "Caprice-Etude" by Alphonse Hasselmans captures the mysterious beautiful of this natural phenomenon using 32nd-note upward arpeggios in rapid succession. Hasselmans wrote "Les Follets pour Harpe" (Opus 48) sometime after 1899 entirely for Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
