When the
great Belgian violin
virtuoso Eugene Ysaye
tried to commission a
violin concerto, Chausson
declined and suggested a
one movement work, Poeme,
Op 25. (1896). The
premiere took place at
the Conservatoire of
Nancy in 1896 with Ysaye
as soloist. The first
Paris performance (1897)
was a huge success for
the composer who was yet
relatively unknown.
Chausson wrote three
versions of the Poeme:
with orchestra, with
piano accompaniment, and
a version with piano and
string quartet, the same
setting as his Concerto
in D for piano, violin,
and string quartet, Op.
21 (1892). The violin
parts are identical in
all three versions.
Ysaye's helping hand in
writing a most
violinistic solo part is
noticeable throughout the
composition.
