A Performance Guide of Cecile Chaminade’s Early Piano Works: Piano Sonata Op. 21, Six Etudes de Concert Op. 35, and Concertstuck Op. 40

Abstract Details

2019, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Piano.
Cecile Louise Stephanie Chaminade (1857–1944) was a successful French composer during her heyday, who composed over four hundred works, toured Europe and the United States, and inspired numerous clubs dedicated to the study and performance of her music. Despite her one-time celebrity, Chaminade is now remembered as a salon composer and for a handful of compositions, mostly character pieces. This document examines her Piano Sonata, Op. 21, Six Concert Etudes, Op. 35, and Concertstuck, Op. 40, three large scale, virtuosic piano works composed in the 1880s which helped to launch her career both as a composer and a performer, though this style would eventually give way to works of a more intimate quality. For each piece, I will provide a performer’s guide that will explore musical issues as well as background that will help to situate these works in her overall output.
