Nadia Boulanger's Three Pieces for Viola and Piano transcribed from the original for Cello. Posterity has retained of Nadia Boulanger only her gifts as a virtuoso of the piano and organ her skill as a conductor (of vocal ensemble and orchestra) and most of all her incredible charisma as a teacher. For nearly sixty years 'Mademoiselle' made the most of her famous Wednesdays bringing rigour and passion to the training of several generations of musicians: among so many others Aaron Copland Leonard Bernstein Igor Markevitch Michel Legrand Witold Lutoslawski Astor Piazzolla Quincy Jones and John-Eliot Gardiner have all kept unforgettable memories of thesetimes.Was Nadia Boulanger wrong to let teaching music take precedence over her composing as Gabriel Fauré the great master she venerated believed? The publication of Three Pieces for Viola and Piano raises the question. This transcription of Three Pieces for cello and piano was composed between 1911 and 1913 and published by Heugel. The two initial pieces were originally written for organ: the first in E flat minor brings a moderate tempo to a melancholy cantilena with Romantic accents while the second in A minor exudes warmth and tenderness. The third piece (C sharp minor) most likely originally titled Danse espagnole heralds the Roaring Twenties with its restlessness and festive crackle. Together they emit a charm that is difficult to resist.

Par JOLAS BETSY. La place que Betsy Jolas s?accorde elle-même dans le paysage de la musique contemporaine est celle de « l?indépendance » et de la « différence ». Cette position s?est clairement imposée dans les années 1960, lorsque sa vie créatrice est enfin devenue publique. Inflexible dans son choix marginal, elle a cependant côtoyé activement, aux lendemains de la guerre, le courant sériel, sans jamais vraiment y adhérer. Elle s?est de même intéressée aux musiques extra-européennes, américaines et dites « non savantes » ? de Bali au jazz ?, comme également, même si d?assez loin, aux recherches électro-acoustiques, notamment pour son opéra Schliemann (1983-1993)./ Répertoire / Alto et Piano
