The
great talent of Cecile
Chaminade (1857-1944)
showed very early: At the
age of 12, she published
her first composition.
Georges Bizet, a friend
of the family, predicted
her great future. After
her successful debut as a
pianist in Paris in 1877,
she began busy concert
activities as a solo
pianist, chamber musician
and conductor in many
European countries as
well as in the USA and
Canada.Although many of
her compositions became
bestsellers during her
lifetime, they are almost
all missing in the
concert programmes of
today. Only the
Concertino for flute and
orchestra Op. 107 is
still performed
regularly. The demanding
piece was written in 1902
as a competition piece at
the Paris Conservatoire -
initially still with
piano accompaniment. The
orchestral version was
composed by Chaminade two
years later.The piece
begins with a wide melody
and then turns into a
virtuoso solo section
which is followed by a
cadenza. The piece ends
with the initial theme as
recapitulation and a
coda.
