Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor's
Papillon for solo piano
was first published in
1908 by Augener Ltd.
Following George
Augener's retirement in
1910, the work along with
the whole Augener
catalogue (which
contained no less than 24
other works by
Coleridge-Taylor), was
aquired by Schott and Co.
Ltd. At the time both
companies occupied
offices on Great
Marlborough Street,
London. Coleridge-Taylor
was born in London and
brought up in Croydon. He
learnt to play the
violin, was recognised as
a child prodigy and at 15
was awarded a scholarship
to study at the Royal
College of Music with
Charles Villiers
Stanford, where he was a
contemporary of Holst and
Vaughan Williams.
Coleridge-Taylor
described himself as
“Anglo-Africanâ€
and, despite support
from his colleagues,
faced racism throughout
his whole career. In
spite of this prejudice
and his tragically early
death in 1912 aged just
37, he enjoyed great
success during his
lifetimeand his music was
performed at the Proms no
less than 116 times
between 1898 and 1939. In
contrast, since 1940 his
music has only been heard
there on thirteen
occasions to date. Like
many works from this
period, at some point in
the past Papillon became
out of print. Schott
Music is now very pleased
to present this new
modern performing edition
with errors and
inconsistencies from the
original edition now
corrected.
