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. One such piece is this intriguing "Fileuse", a characteristic etude written by Hasselmans in 1892 entirely for Harp. |
