Les XX and Pierre de Bréville (French, 1861-1949)

#LesXX and Pierre de Bréville (French, 1861-1949) Les XX and Société Nationale de Musique Pierre de Bréville (French, 1861-1949) - Sonate en ré bémol - Marie-Catherine Girod https://youtu.be/fZLuJWTtsPw

Pierre Onfroy de Bréville (21 February 1861 – 24 September 1949) was a French composer.

Pierre de Bréville was born in Bar-le-Duc, Meuse. Following the wishes of his parents, he studied law with the goal of becoming a diplomat. However, he abandoned his plans after a few years and entered the Conservatoire de Paris. He began his musical studies with Théodore Dubois (1880–1882), later taking courses under the direction of César Franck.

He became a professor, teaching counterpoint at the Schola Cantorum in Paris (1898–1902). Following a twelve-year break, he taught classes in chamber music composition at the Conservatoire de Paris (1914–1918).

He established himself as a music critic and became well known for his reviews and commentary in Mercure de France, Le Courrier musical and La Revue blanche. He died in Paris.

Although de Bréville was not prolific, he lavished attention to his own compositions, producing several highly original works remembered for their quality. He also completed the orchestration of César Franck's unfinished opera Ghiselle with Vincent d'Indyand Ernest Chausson.

Artist Biography by Uncle Dave Lewis

French composer Pierre de Bréville originally prepared to take a law degree in order to join the diplomatic corps and please his parents, but changed his mind and went into music instead. Brévillestudied at the Conservatoire with Theodore Dubois, but was most significantly impacted by his later studies with César Franck and considered himself among Franck's "circle." Bréville traveled to Bayreuth alongside Debussy and Fauré in 1888 and made the acquaintance of Vincent d'Indy there, met with Liszt somewhat earlier, and was acquainted with Edvard Grieg. A trip to Constantinople in the early 1890s accounts for a certain "Orientalist" strain found in Bréville's music, particularly as exemplified in the symphonic poem Stamboul (1895). Bréville remained close friends with d'Indy, who named him to his first teaching position at the Schola Cantorum in 1898; together they worked along with other members of the "Bande de Franck" to complete Franck's unfinished opera Ghisèle.

Bréville was best known in his lifetime as a teacher and critic; he wrote for Mercure de France and other publications throughout his career and taught at both the Paris Conservatoire and the Schola Cantorum; he succeeded d'Indy as head of the Société Nationale de Musique. Bréville also wrote a significant memoir of Franck, Les Fioretti du père Franck, which appeared in serialized form in Mercure de France between 1935 and 1938. As to his compositions, Bréville considered the opera Eros vainqueur, completed in 1905, to be his most important achievement; it was not given in a full-scale production until 1932, but an early concert performance presented in 1910 featured soprano Claire Croiza, who also championed Bréville's songs and other works. Bréville's worklist is geared in the main toward vocal music, and his songs -- mainly the earliest ones from the 1880s and '90s -- gained the greatest amount of traction among any of his works during his lifetime. In addition to the songs, Bréville composed another unfinished opera St. François d'Assise, incidental music for plays, an overture and a handful of symphonic poems, sacred and secular music for chorus, chamber music (including five sonatas for violin and piano; the first (1918) being exceptionally important), and works for piano and organ; his last completed piece, in 1946, was a saxophone quartet. Stylistically, Brévillemoved from Franckian post-romanticism to a mildly impressionist idiom, but little of Bréville's music has been heard since his death in Paris at the age of 88. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/pierre-de-breville-mn0001623473/biography
