Ajoutée par magataganm, 09 Jui 2018 Emmanual Chabrier (1841 - 1894) was born in Ambert, Puy-de-Dôme, France, a composer whose best works reflect the verve and wit of the Paris scene of the 1880s and who was a musical counterpart of the early Impressionist painters. Chabrier was attracted in his youth to both music and painting. He studied law in Paris from 1858 to 1862. During these years he also studied the piano and harmony and counterpoint. His technical training was, however, limited, and in the art of composition he was self-taught. From 1862 to 1880 he was employed at t he Ministry of the Interior, producing during this period the operas L'Étoile (1877 "The Star") and Une Éducation manquée ("A Deficient Education"), first performed with piano accompaniment in 1879 and with orchestra in 1913. Two unfinished operettas were sketched out between 1863 and 1865 in cooperation with the poet Paul Verlaine. He was closely associated with the Impressionist painters and purchased the celebrated "Bar at the Folies-Bergère" by his friend Édouard Manet..
