Encouraging pioneer projects and excellence at the service of fine causes
There are fine causes, with projects that are innovative, well thought-out and truly inspired, but which
for their success require the strong support and encouragement of a committed partner. The Fondation
Bru supports and accompanies such projects – sometimes quite simply making them possible.
Created in 2005 on the initiative of Dr Nicole Bru, with the aim of perpetuating the name and memory
of the founders of French pharmaceuticals company Laboratoires UPSA, the Fondation Bru reflects
the values of that family of enterprising researchers: strong commitment, profound humanism, a
pioneering spirit, a wish to be useful…
Man and his environment lie at the heart of all the actions undertaken by the Fondation Bru, which
maintains great freedom in the choice of its commitments to patronage and work in the fields of
education and research, culture and the cultural heritage.
The Fondation Bru is receptive to fine initiatives that are in phase with its own values: ambitious
pioneering projects that ate likely to further the causes they serve in a significant manner.

The Palazzetto Bru Zane’s third year of activity sees
the ripening of the fruits of the past two seasons. I am
particularly delighted because, although reflection,
dialogue and conceptualisation are essential in artistic
production, as in scientific research, it is none the less
necessary to materialise those efforts and give the work
carried out a concrete and definitive form: books, sheet
music and recordings are now tangible evidence of the
research conducted by the Palazzetto and its partners.
Fond memories prompt me to mention, for example, the
forthcoming release on CD of three piano concertos by
Hérold; these were recorded in Warsaw in 2010, following
the publication of the scores by the Palazzetto’s editorial
partner, Symétrie, then the programme presented at the
Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice. This is just one
example of the sequence of events and skills that can
enable artists and music lovers alike to have access to
works that previously could be neither heard nor played,
and whose very existence was, to be honest, unknown
to most people.
Among the fundamental objectives laid down when
the Palazzetto was founded, scientific research lies at
the heart of the process of rehabilitating the Romantic
repertoire. “Separating the wheat from the chaff”, in
order to present the best of this music, means making
a thorough study of manuscripts that are sometimes
barely legible and whose qualities are not necessarily
immediately obvious. This selection stage is crucial in
justifying the work that comes next.
The question of making this repertoire available to as
many people as possible was also a central concern.
With its special charm, Venice, the anchoring point
of the project is one concert centre amongst others.
The forthcoming season wholly satisfies these hopes
for development, not only by further increasing the
number of partner venues, but also by strengthening
collaborations that can now be described as faithful. I
sincerely thank all those who thus extend and promote
our activity.
Finally, I must draw attention to the increase in 2011-2012
in the number of teaching and career assistance projects,
and partnerships with international competitions (Lyon,
Paris, Orléans, Bordeaux and others). The younger
generation is the one that will later choose to champion a
repertoire that is too often neglected through ignorance.
It is likely that if artists’ first contact with this music
is through dialogue, the sharing of knowledge and
emulation, they will remember it with enthusiasm for
a long time to come. And the team of the Palazzetto will
see to that.

SEASON 2011-2012
Just as 2010 gave the Palazzetto Bru Zane an opportunity to commemorate the birth of the most French
of Italian composers, Luigi Cherubini, 2011 imposes a
celebration of that outstanding pianist and truly international artist, who travelled constantly all over
Europe, Franz Liszt. The Palazzetto’s Autumn Festival
this season is devoted to the eminently Romantic theme
of virtuosity, focusing in particular on the emergence
of the aesthetic of heroism and the rise of the modern
“star system”. Beside the figureheads, Paganini, Liszt
and Chopin, the programmes highlight the important
role played by neglected artists, such as Alkan and
Thalberg. From the sonata to the concerto, from the instrumental repertoire to opera, the epic of the Romantic
“challenge” takes shape through the artists brought together for this occasion. For the first time, this season,
the second thematic festival is devoted to the works of a
composer whose name is now completely unknown to
most of us: Théodore Dubois (1837-1924). The catalogue
of his works is so impressive that it is hard to imagine
that he was completely forgotten after his death, except
as the author of a famous treatise on harmony (Traité
d’harmonie). Were all his works worthwhile? Was modernity over-radical and unjust in its dismissal of this
composer? The Spring Festival in 2012 aims to answer
those questions, while at the same time approaching
and developing the theme of “official art”, which now
tends to be decried. (While being a corollary of our
study of Dubois, this also enables us refer to Massenet
on the centenary of his death.) As well as enabling us to
gain a better understanding of Dubois, the man, and his
artistic context, the festival pays a moving tribute to a
composer who died as he was writing (Private Diary,
10
18 December 1922): “There must be enough good works
among all those I leave to do me some justice!”
In February 2012, between those two thematic festivals,
comes Le salon romantique, which as usual proposes a
series of cartes blanches, with works by Hérold, Gouvy,
Onslow, Boëly and many other little-known or unknown
composers.
The 2011-2012 season sees further results in the musicological initiatives we have undertaken in collaboration with our academic or private partners. Further
research topics, the expansion of the catalogue of rare
scores, and more diversity in our publications (notably
with the launching of a series of paperbacks, intended
for a non-specialist readership, that has already attracted much attention): all this enables us to extend
our knowledge of this repertoire.
Finally, continuing its policy of supporting CD recordings, the Palazzetto initiates a new series this season,
concentrating particularly on Romantic opera of the early nineteenth century. The first releases in the series will
be Amadis de Gaule by Johann Christian Bach, Cherubini’s Lodoïska, Sémiramis by Catel, and Kreutzer’s La
Mort d’Abel.
In concert or on CD, you will find, throughout this season, some of the orchestras and artists who have given
their loyal support to a committed artistic policy aiming to show the Palazzetto Bru Zane’s raison d’être in
reviving for all, with the highest possible standards, an
art that is now well on the way to recovering its former
popularity.
The team of the Palazzetto Bru Zane
The 2011-2012 season provides an opportunity to commemorate four great names of
French Romanticism: Liszt, Gautier, Massenet and Debussy. They are honoured throughout the Palazzetto Bru Zane’s festivals: Liszt and Gautier appear frequently in the Autumn Festival, devoted to virtuosity, while Massenet and Debussy feature prominently in
the Spring Festival devoted to “Théodore Dubois and official art”.
Théophile Gautier (1811-1872)
2011 marks the bicentenary of the birth of the French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist,
and literary, ballet and art critic, Théophile Gautier. The author of Capitaine Fracasse was
a great lover of music, whose critical views, published in distinguished newspapers of
the time, provide us with precious insight into Italian opera, French grand opera, and the
symphonic music of the Second Empire.
Franz Liszt (1811-1886)
A brilliant pianist and composer, Franz Liszt is no doubt the father figure of nineteenthcentury European music: he provides the important link between Beethoven and Wagner.
His bicentenary gives us an opportunity to find out more about his life as a virtuoso in
Paris – when he apparently sold his soul to the devil – and his life as a composer in Weimar
– when he signed a pact with God.
Jules Massenet (1842-1912)
Commemorations of the centenary of the death of Massenet – Gounod’s successor on the
operatic stage in Paris – enable us to take a look at this composer of successful works
including Manon and Le Jongleur de Notre-Dame, in order to gain a better understanding of the man and his art. His eclecticism (now gradually being recognised) reveals a
pioneer and an innovator, at the beginning of the twentieth century, in matters of form
and sound.
Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Embodying the radical modernity of post-Romantic French music, Debussy was regarded
by the avant-gardists of the twentieth century as a leader. The celebration of the 150th
anniversary of the birth of the author of Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune and Pelléas et
Mélisande gives us an excuse to listen once more to works from a musical catalogue that
is more varied than is generally believed.

The Palazzetto Bru Zane
For a hundred years, the Casino Zane, built between 1695
and 1697 in the San Stin district not far from the Basilica
dei Frari, housed the entertainments of the Zane family,
who lived in the nearby Palazzo Zane.
The main palace (now a training school, the Scuola Livio
Sanudo) was separated from the Palazzetto by a splendid
formal garden. A building next to the Palazzetto housed
the library; it no longer exists.
In 1682 the workshop of Baldassare Longhena – the most
distinguished Venetian architect of the Baroque period,
who designed Ca’ Pesaro and Ca’ Rezzonico – completed
the restoration of the Palazzo Zane commissioned by
Dominico Zane (d. 1672). On his death the latter had bequeathed his property and an important collection of
books and paintings to his nephew Marino. Marino Zane
then commissioned the building of a casino (now the Palazzetto) and a library to house the collection left to him,
which he had subsequently enlarged. The architect Antonio Gaspari, who had worked in Longhena’s workshop,
was given carte blanche to design the casino. On his
death, his assistant Domenico Rossi carried on the work
with the help of artists of repute. The very rich interior
decoration is attributed to the famous stucco decorator
Abbondio Stazio; the woodwork, including the ornate
wooden balustrade above the main salon, is by Andrea
Brustolon. The frescoes in the house have recently been
attributed to Sebastiano Ricci. The palace is listed on the
National Register of Historic Monuments. After consulta-
tions in 2006, restoration work was begun in 2007, the
aims of the Fondation Bru being to restore the building
in its original spirit and to create a venue for music. The
building, with an overall area of eight hundred square
metres, is on three levels. Its windows look out over a
canal on one side and over the garden on the other. The
ground plan is traditional Venetian.
The sixteen rooms include a concert hall with a seating
capacity of up to a hundred. Now the restoration work is
finished, the Palazzetto has a sound-proofed rehearsal
studio; there is also a lift for persons with reduced mobility.
The glory of the house is the double-height salon (music
room of the Zane family) with a magnificent coved ceiling bearing a huge painting of Hercules with Fame and
Virtue in the centre, and Olympian gods in grisaille in
the four corners. Painted shells, such as those seen on the
ceiling, are a rarity in Venice. The room is reached via a
grand staircase decorated with splendid frescoes.

VIRTUOSITY
FESTIVAL | 8 OCTOBER -19 NOVEMBER 2011
Virtuosity, a touchstone of the nineteenth century, encompasses the charms and the excesses of Romantic music, in
which it was recognised as having true emotional value.
If bravura and “pyrotechnics” resulting from vocal or
digital agility were the most immediate manifestations
of virtuosity, it was also expressed, in opera especially,
through sheer vocal power. The ‘chant de force’ that was
required for the operas of Gluck (and soon after, those of
Meyerbeer) necessitated such capacities that some singers
who were expected to go a long way ruined both their
voices and their careers in the space of a few years. The
famous singer Cornélie Falcon’s sudden loss of voice is the
operatic equivalent of Schumann tearing his ligaments.
The attention focused on virtuosity led to appropriate developments in teaching and organology. Books of technical
studies (études) and collections presenting various vocalisations dealt with purely mechanical aspects, while what
can only be described as torture instruments gradually
appeared to strengthen, stretch and loosen the muscles
of the arm and hand. At the same time, pitch gradually
rose (it was not to be fixed until 1850 onwards) in order to
give instruments a clear, bright sound and increase their
sound projection. Wind instruments, in particular, freed
themselves from a hitherto rudimentary technique. Thus,
from the First Empire onwards (the empire of Napoleon I,
1804 - 1814/1815), some singers, such as the famous Mme
Branchu, gave up appearing in the tragédies lyriques of
Gluck, since they had become inaccessible to their voices.
But a new school of singing took up the challenge of Romanticism, setting high C in the ‘chest voice’ as the ideal
to be aimed for in a vocal career. At the same time, the
evolution of musical genres deferentially served the aspirations of virtuosity. The études of Czerny and Chopin,
Liszt and Thalberg became the crucible for pedagogical experimentation, while the concerto with orchestra
represented the inevitable apotheosis of concert programmes, and the paraphrase became the prerogative of
the middle-class salon. The operatic milieu itself yielded
to this passion on the part of the public: the Romantic
“grand opera”, invented by Auber, introduced vocalising
for characters that had previously either been relegated
to the divertissements, or quite simply had not existed.
The forte chanteuse replied to the chanteuse à roulades,
much to the satisfaction of a public that relished the delights of immediate emotion. Often denigrated, virtuosity nevertheless continued to offer an enchanting spectacle throughout the century, and composers such as Liszt,
Paganini, Brahms and Rachmaninov did not hesitate to
employ their genius in paying tribute to this “demonic”
facet of pluralist Romanticism.

The epic of the Romantic concerto
The French Romantic concerto experienced its golden
age during the second half of the nineteenth century,
flourishing particularly in the works of composers such
as Saint-Saëns, Franck, Lalo and Godard. But this genre
– which had to make the most of the expressive qualities of opposed and unequal forces of instruments (solo
versus tutti) – had first appeared in the 1780s. Favouring the strings and woodwinds first of all, it gradually
turned to new soloists, as instrument makers made technical advances. Moreover, the concerto was inseparable
from the birth in France of a new symphonic school, inspired by the discovery of the works of Mozart, Haydn
and Beethoven.
All the composers of that musically rich century had to
deal with those seemingly contradictory elements, with
each of them seeking an original solution to the delicate
problems posed by the use of a predominant instrument within an orchestral fabric that nevertheless had
to be coherent. From that typically French attraction to
timbre gradually emerged a repertoire of remarkable
variety, both in technique and form, including the essentially traditional grand concerto (Saint-Saëns), freely
concerted pieces developed in different ways by different
composers (Franck, Chausson, Fauré, Debussy) and the
symphonie avec soliste or concerted symphony (exemplified by Berlioz, Lalo and d’Indy).

Romantic studies
Geoffroy Couteau, piano
Pianos, pianists and pianism
In France, the adventure of the Romantic piano began
under the joint impetus of instrument making and the
beginnings of virtuosity. From the Empire period onwards, Pleyel and Érard competed with each other to
create fortepianos that were ever subtler and more sonorous. Simultaneously, the new “star system” isolated the
virtuoso from all the other performers. Who, more than
the pianist, could claim to embody the new Romantic
hero, sometimes keenly involved in committed actions,
sometimes withdrawn into melancholy isolation? The
piano repertoire felt the effects of that duality: at the
time when intimate pieces were flourishing, the concerto began to adopt increasingly impressive, and even
unlikely, turns in order to satisfy the expectations of a
public with an appetite for the “spectacular”. Between
those two genres, the one intended for the salon, the
other for the concert hall, the piano became ubiquitous,
used in chamber music, the mélodie, and even on stage
in operas, where it was used on many occasions. And as
if it were not enough for it to have its own vast repertoire the piano began to turn to transcriptions and arrangements. In countless fantaisies on famous themes,
the virtuoso added garlands of embellishments aimed
at dazzling the listener. Conversely, the Romantic piano
was not afraid to replace a whole orchestra. If the German school, from Beethoven to Brahms, is considered to
be the highest expression of the Romantic piano, that is
because most people are unaware of the pioneering work
of Frenchmen such as Hérold or Alkan.

Emancipation of the wind instruments
“Dramatic composers ought to consider the use of wind
instruments, which the Germans have understood so
well in using them in wind bands. [...] These various
instruments should now be used to contribute to expression.” Grétry, who was a precursor in many fields,
suggested very early on that musicians should recognise
the expressive potential of wind instruments. In the late
eighteenth century, it is true that the proliferation of
concert societies and the massive influx in Paris of soloists eager to perform there, enabled everyone to experience the amazement of hearing technical feats hitherto
unimaginable on the horn, clarinet, bassoon and so on.
The concertos and symphonies concertantes, created
by the dozen at the Concert Spirituel, then the Théâtres
Favart and Feydeau, subjugated audiences. “For some
time,” noted the Journal de Paris in 1801, “there has been
such a frenzied passion for instrumental music that the
genre is now the only one that is fashionable.” Indeed, all
30
the musical institutions in Paris turned to instrumental
concerts. The Académie Impériale de Musique, the Opéra
Comique and even the Chapelle des Tuileries proposed
original – and sometimes extreme – solutions in order
to satisfy the prevailing tastes and enable flute, oboe,
clarinet, horn and bassoon to show their mettle.
Tempering that enthusiasm would have meant turning
a deaf ear to the indisputable talent of the younger generation, recently graduated from the new Conservatoire:
every evening Tulou, Duvernoy, Lefebvre and Ozi would
show their skills in friendly battles on the Parisian stages. Moreover that was why the newly acquired virtuosity of the wind instruments flourished more readily in
the mould of the symphonie concertante: involving up
to ten soloists, allowing each to take the floor in turn, it
avoided monotony and favoured comparison.

“Fortes chanteuses” and “chanteuses à roulades”
The arrival of Gluck in Paris (1774) coincided with a revival of the vocal aesthetic of the Paris Opéra’s resident
company. At the instigation of a group of outstanding
artists, the French school of singing moved towards a
technique that, to a much greater extent than is commonly realised, anticipated the power of the Wagnerian
and Verdian roles of the following century. With its excessive enthusiasm, Paris even became the capital of a
“degenerate” vocal art that was dubbed “urlo francese”
(“French shrieking”) – enough said! “L’Opéra toujours/
Fait bruit et merveille:/ On y voit les sourds/ Boucher
leurs oreilles” – “The Opéra is always/ A subject of conversation and wonder:/ There one may see even the
deaf/ Stopping their ears” (lines from a lampoon of the
time). It was Mlle Maillard who really brought the mezzosoprano voice to the Opéra: a generous voice, dark tim-
34
bre, powerful high notes and a cavernous low register
were the features acclaimed by the press. At the same
time a stunned Parisian public discovered the first Italian contraltos, who came to perform in France from 1801
onwards. These divas sang almost as low as tenors and
possessed marvellous coloratura skills. Their success
convinced the new generation of French composers to
incorporate this type of voice into the cast for works in
which the traditional preference had been for the pairing of a lyric soprano and a dramatic soprano. After
the 1850s, the taste for pyrotechnical vocalises (known
as “roulades” in nineteenth-century France) gradually
died out, and priority was given to compositional roles
(Mignon, Carmen, Manon, and so on) that were less demanding vocally.

Le salon
romantique
FESTIVAL | 4 –28 FEBRUARY 2012
Each winter the Palazzetto Bru Zane welcomes to Venice
artists from various horizons – promising young talents
or confirmed musicians – for a series of cartes blanches
devoted to the French Romantic repertoire. The programmes are worked out collegially by the Palazzetto
teams and the artists themselves, with the aim of presenting audiences with a varied panorama of famous works
and unknown rarities. A partnership network enables
these programmes to be presented in other parts of the
world and thus reach a very wide audience. This festival,
free from the constraint of obedience to a specific musical
theme, provides the ideal opportunity to show to its best
advantage the concert room at the Centre de musique romantique française, which is of a size comparable to that
of the nineteenth-century salons for which quartets, sonatas, romances and mélodies were composed. Thus, each
year, Le salon romantique is devoted almost exclusively
to the chamber works, both instrumental and vocal, that
are typical of that repertoire: sonata, duo, trio, quartet,
quintet, and so on, up to and including the piece for ten
musicians. Rare or “picturesque” instruments (harp,
saxophone, brass, and so on) are not excluded, nor are the
practices such as arrangement and transcription that
were common in the Romantic period but are not as well
known today as they might be.
Le salon romantique also provides an opportunity to
develop, or strengthen, the partnerships that the Palazzetto has initiated “extra muros”, particularly with international music competitions: Quatuors à Bordeaux,
Concours international de musique de chambre de Lyon,
Concours Rostropovitch, Concours international de piano
d’Orléans and the Paris International Opera Competition.
This festival also enables us to give students of a high level
of attainment the advantage of public contact in concert.
The 2011-2012 season thus carries on the close collaboration already begun with the Haute École de Musique de
Genève and the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris. Presented during the Carnival
period, fine works by Chopin, Debussy, Gounod, Duparc
and Fauré, but also Jadin, Onslow, Boëly, Wormser, Hüe,
Hillemacher, Diémer, Ropartz, Joncières, Massé, Bonis,
d’Indy and Caplet, will echo the effervescence of Venice at
that time of year with a sort of musical Carnival, in which
the mask of oblivion will be removed to reveal some of
the treasures of Romanticism that are still awaiting rediscovery.

Théodore Dubois
(1837-1924)
and official art
FESTIVAL | 14 APRIL –27 MAY 2012
Théodore Dubois, born in 1837, was a gifted pupil,
whose brilliant studies at the Paris Conservatoire were
rewarded by several first prizes, notably for piano and
composition, and the Prix de Rome (1861). On his return
from Italy, he began a regular and patient ascent: he was
appointed professor of harmony at the Conservatoire
in 1871, professor of composition ten years later, and
finally director from 1896 until his retirement in 1905.
Simultaneously, he devoted himself to church music,
notably as organist of La Madeleine (1877-1896). He was
also honoured by official milieus, and became a member
of the Institut de France in 1894. His reputation suffered
posthumously from his having held that privileged
position. Yet, while remaining faithful to his ideals
of clarity and respect for tradition, he was aware of
the advances made in his time, as is borne out by his
membership of the Société Nationale de Musique. Eclectic
in its inspiration, his œuvre is vast and varied, approaching
every genre and identifying as much with César Franck
and Schumann as with Brahms or Saint-Saëns.
The “unpopular” Dubois, seen above all as the author of
a daunting Traité d’harmonie, represented the official
milieu of fin-de-siècle France, over which hung the
disturbing shadow of an “academicism” in art that was
fiercely decried. Now, however, with sufficient hindsight,
we can see the music of that time and milieu more
objectively and give it the chance it deserves, revealing
an art that has surprisingly intoxicating charms. We
shall also summon once illustrious (but now famously
unknown) contemporaries of Dubois, who bore such
names as Gouvy, De La Tombelle, Paladilhe, Chaminade,
Bordes, Duvernoy, Pfeiffer… All of them, no doubt, have
patiently paid their tribute to the purgatory of posterity.
And as Dubois wrote in the final pages of his diary: “I
don’t know if I am wrong; but somehow I feel certain
that if later, after I am gone, [my works] fall into the
hands of fair-minded musicians and critics, the tide
will turn in my favour! I won’t be there to enjoy it, but it
doesn’t matter, it is nice to think about it! [...]There must
be enough good works among all those I leave to do me
some justice!” (18 December, 1922). The time has come,
Monsieur Dubois!

When the concert societies set the tone...
To describe fully a period as vast and complex musically as the Second Empire and the Third Republic (a period corresponding to Dubois’s activity as a composer)
we must evoke that vector of dissemination, the great
concert societies. Thus, the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, founded in 1828 by Habeneck to enable the
public to discover the works of Beethoven, was to have
a significant influence on the art of a whole generation
of composers. It was followed, some decades later, by
the three societies founded by Pasdeloup (1861), Colonne
(1873) and Lamoureux (1881), and the Société Nationale
de Musique (1871) and its rival the Société de Musique Indépendante (1909). All of these were excellent orchestras
which not only presented the first performances of many
famous works, but also contributed to the influence of
the avant-garde at the turn of the century. Touching on
every genre and every period, the programmes of that
time were very eclectic: a mosaic of overtures, operatic
excerpts, symphonies, concertos, symphonic poems and
genre pieces, secular works and religious compositions,
French and foreign, from the briefest mélodie to the
most ambitious oratorio. Without a shadow of a doubt,
the history of the aesthetic revolution accomplished in
Paris during the second half of the nineteenth century
was only possible through the combined efforts of those
concert societies, where the works of Dubois were heard
regularly.

Sacred art and official art
Just as sacred music and religious music are persistently
confused, French church music of the nineteenth century is often seen as a consummate expression of official
art – with the word “official” taken to mean “academic”
and “conservative”, thus disregarding the variety of
means brought into play and the perspicacity of certain
organists or maîtres de chapelle, such as Saint-Saëns,
Franck, Baptiste, Fauré and Pierné. In the cities, church
services were accompanied by ensembles composed basically of a few soloists gathered around a harmonium,
or a great organ when required. In the wealthiest chapels, a violin, cello, harp and double bass would support a
larger choir, whose soloists would perform solos worthy
of grand opera. At the same time religious music made
its way into the concert hall, where large-scale biblical
works in the tradition of the oratorios of Mendelssohn
and Liszt were given regularly – precious works that
58
have now been forgotten: Le Passage de la Mer Rouge
(Rabuteau, 1871), L’Incarnation de Jésus (Maréchal,
1873), Sainte Geneviève (Hillemacher, 1877), Le Sinaï
(Broutin, 1880), Saül (Hüe, 1880), Saint Georges (Vidal,
1884), Les Saintes Maries de la Mer (Paladilhe, 1890)...
and the more famous Martyre de Saint Sébastien by
Debussy. Organist of the churches of Sainte-Clotilde and
La Madeleine, Théodore Dubois composed many masses,
motets and oratorios, the finest of which are probably
his Messe pontificale, Les Sept Paroles du Christ and Le
Paradis perdu, not to mention some motets using spectacular forces. He also left several books of more or less
ambitious organ pieces.

Musical afternoons and evenings… from four to ten
Dominated for a very long time by dramatic works,
French music, in the course of the nineteenth century,
went through a period of profound questioning of traditional hierarchies. Less concerned about the stage, composers gradually turned to the concert halls and salons
– new centres of experimentation, the results of which
were soon the admiration of the whole of Europe. Thus,
while a new symphonic school was being born, the field
of chamber music experienced a keen revival of interest. Furthermore, the radical transformation of musical
practice after the Revolution led to a constantly growing
demand for novelty from a keen amateur public. To the
seminal works of Hyacinthe Jadin, Cherubini and Onslow
(the undisputed master of French chamber music at the
time of Berlioz) were gradually added the equally ambi-
tious opuses of Reber, David, Gouvy, Farrenc, Saint-Saëns,
then Fauré, Debussy and Ravel – challenging works, difficult to perform, which favoured the emergence of professional ensembles. To such ensembles Dubois dedicated
several of the essential works in his corpus of chamber
music, in which the two string quartets in particular
show a wealth of inspiration. More curious, but no less
interesting, the Nonette (for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon
and string quintet) and the Dixtuor (the instruments of
the nonet plus a horn) are lengthy pieces, with a formal
conception and a gravity that come as a surprise in this
repertoire.

Around the piano
The piano lost no time in ousting the violin to become
the favourite instrument of the Romantics. That resulted in a growing practice which brought about a
radical change in the usual balances in musical writing. By turns a soloist, an accompanist or a member of
the ensemble like an orchestral musician, the keyboard
opened up new horizons for the hitherto predominant
string quartet and quintet. Théodore Dubois, more than
others, paid an enthusiastic tribute to the repertoire for
solo piano or for piano with other instruments. In this
corpus his Piano Sonata, Les Heures, his Poèmes alpestres
and Poèmes sylvestres and the more experimental Poèmes
virgiliens stand out. For keyboard and other instruments,
Dubois left two sonatas (one for violin and the other for
cello), two trios, a quartet, an original quintet in which
68
he used an oboe in place of one of the violins, and several
miniatures with colourful titles, such as the touching
Promenade sentimentale for violin, cello and piano. All
of them interesting, these pieces were composed for the
most part between 1890 and 1920, just before and during
the composer’s retirement. He completed one of his two
string quartets at the age of eighty. In many respects
these works undoubtedly deserve the revival that has
only recently begun through recordings and concerts.
Dubois also left many arrangements of his orchestral
music for piano four hands; these were carefully transcribed and expertly ratified by his wife, the virtuoso
pianist Jeanne Duvinage.

The “mélodie”, a chamber opera?
In the hierarchy of repertoires, the French mélodie stands
at the summit. Its fair assessment requires great understanding of poetry and appreciation of detail. Symbolist
thoughts or, at the other extreme, lines borrowed from
Ronsard or Villon, make it into a genre that is above all
literary. The art of a composer such as Théodore Dubois
enables us to reassess its progression and the stages in
its maturation, at the intersection of two radically different but closely related worlds: those of the romance
and of the mélodie itself. Born in 1837, Dubois could not
ignore the specificities of the romance that was performed in the salons. Having appeared in the late eighteenth century, it had become more theatrical during the
period of the July Monarchy. The romance was then a
strophic genre implying frequent repetition of the same
74
music. More lyrical in substance, supported by a piano
accompaniment that is more closely related to the text,
the French mélodie is first and foremost a literary genre.
It is often presented in cycles, which may be narrative
or more evocative. Dubois is a perfect representative of
the most “Romantic” period of the French mélodie – the
period that was unceremoniously swept aside by the
symbolism of Debussy, who regarded it as outdated and
superficial. Yet judging by Dubois’s literary choices, he
held this repertoire in particularly high esteem, readily
colouring it with genuine sadness or infectious joy.

OPERA
and ballet
The tragédie lyrique and the ballet, born in the eighteenth century under Louis XIV, were specifically French
genres. This form of total theatre, involving poetry, music, dance, scenery, costumes, and machinery showing
an unprecedented degree of ingenuity, gradually evolved
over the years into the grand opera that was to be the
envy of Europe, admired by composers from Wagner to
Verdi. The first signs of Romanticism were present even
before the Revolution, in the works composed at that
time by Gluck and his contemporaries, among whom
Grétry was one of the most innovative, following in the
footsteps of the all too little-known Lemoyne, Fontenelle,
Catel and Gossec, whose works reflect the paradoxical
sensitivity of that period of change, torn between nostalgia for the great moments of the reign Louis XIV and the
cult of modernity and progress. Music whose ambitions
were already “Romantic” and whose truly unprecedented accents brought out the passions of the former Classical age in a completely new way. Italian musicians, who
had begun to arrive in Paris during the reign of Louis
XVI, stood at the forefront among operatic composers,
and it is to them that early Romanticism owes some of
its flavour and personality. The generation of Piccinni
and Sacchini introduced France to the international
style of that time, which Salieri transcended with the
original orchestral effects, strong pathos and drama
that so impressed the young Berlioz. A few years later,
under the Empire, Spontini created operas that were in
keeping with the prevailing taste of those years for monumentality and pomp. During the same period Cherubini became famous in France and far beyond, and the
young Beethoven chose him as a model. Having moved
to Paris, Rossini composed the crowning achievement of
his career, his last operatic work, Guillaume Tell (preceded by a spectacular Moïse et Pharaon), considered to
be one of the first French grand operas and taken as a
model by Auber (La Muette de Portici), then Donizetti
and later Verdi. Berlioz was a direct “descendant” of
Gluck and his contemporaries: as a young man he had
been deeply impressed by the works of Gluck, going so
far as to declare that Gluck was the first Romantic. He
was particularly excited too by the great interpreters of
that repertoire, from Sophie Arnould to Cornélie Falcon,
and including Caroline Branchu and Julie-Angélique
Scio, who embodied the characters created for them by
Gluck, Méhul, Cherubini and Spontini with a vocal virtuosity and heroism the likes of which had never been
heard in France before.

With the constant demands of the Romantic movement for
more volume, dynamics and virtuosity, the nineteenth-century orchestra needed a conductor. Previously the batteur
de mesure – there to make the time-beat audible – had presided over the instruments of the Opéra, before the adoption
during the Classical period of the Italian practice of having
the first violin lead the ensemble. The exact identity of the
conductor, who became central to musical life in Europe,
was yet to be defined. Was he there simply to coordinate
the performance of a work technically, or was his role to
guarantee a musical policy (from repertoire to performance)? Benefiting from the experience accumulated by the
great pioneers – conductors-cum-virtuosos, such as Clementi, Paganini, Liszt, Spohr, or conductor-composers, such
as Weber, Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Charpentier, Mahler – his
status evolved in the course of the century. A better understanding of this profession enables the adoption of a different, more subtle, approach to the Romantic repertoire.
The aim of this symposium, involving musicology and
ethnomusicology, is to introduce a multidisciplinary reflection on the notion of “otherness” in nineteenth-century music. It will question the construction of that notion
as well as its historiography, its impact on a new, "erudite" form of musical composition, and the broadening
of new, multicultural musical horizons in the West. Two
fundamental issues will serve as a guide: firstly, why
Western composers have been so irresistibly attracted
to – and stunned by – “other” music; secondly, the reception of dominant musical and instrumental models,
sometimes foreign, by Europe’s various “popular” musical cultures.

Franz Liszt – virtuoso pianist, composer, conductor,
teacher and traveller – was the epitome of the the musician who lived on a European scale. In the nineteenth
century, amazing progress in instrument making and
music publishing encouraged the circulation to the most
important artistic centres of the time (Paris, Vienna, London...) of both musicians and musical works. Although
national schools of music were then gradually emerging,
is it possible to identify a “European sound”, resulting
from musicians’ encounters with the aesthetics of the
countries they visited? This question will be answered
after an examination of playing techniques, changing
tastes and the details of musicians’ tours.
In 2011, for the bicentenary of the birth of Théophile Gautier, there will be national commemorations and a very
rich cultural programme, including seminars, talks,
exhibitions, performances, museum displays, concerts...
all of them initiatives supported by private or public
institutions, including the French Ministry of Culture.
These events will provide an opportunity to rediscover
the journalistic output of this writer, who was particularly active during the Second Empire. A body of literature that represents almost three thousand press articles, in the form of narrative and critical texts presented
in serial form or accounts of his travels. For forty years
Gautier was an excellent art critic and a well-informed
theatre, opera and ballet-goer: an invaluable witness for
contemporary historians of the stage and the Fine Arts
in Paris at that time.

Italian unity, the 150th anniversary of which is celebrated in 2011 (1861-2011), marked the culmination of
a political project, which had previously been supported
by a cultural project that had paved the way for it, the
aim being to prove that over the centuries Italy had been
forged by its language and its artistic production. And
opera, through its impact on a socially and geographically diverse population, was one of the tools in the
building of unity. At the time when the peninsula was
still fragmented politically, the finest operatic works
circulated from theatre to theatre, cementing identities.
This symposium brings to a close a series of talks held at
the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris. It forms part of the
exhibition entitled “Napoleon III, the French, and Italian
Unity (1848-1870)”, organised by the Musée de l’Armée in
Paris.
Noticed in Vienna and at the Concert Spirituel in Paris,
employed in Madrid by Infante Don Luis of Spain (1769),
admired by King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia, who appointed him composer of his Chamber (1786)... like many
Italians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,
Luigi Boccherini sought confirmation of his early success in different parts of Europe. Permeable to Viennese
and Parisian musical influences, he was also a bearer
of the Italian musical tradition, and he played a part in
the renewal of Classical chamber music. The amazing
production of this great virtuoso cellist deserves to be
reassessed within the context of late eighteenth-century
European music: artistic interactions, instrument making, music publishing and the reception of his works by
his contemporaries.

Opera production in France was in turn a factor of national identity and cultural influence. While institutions
attracted musicians from the rest of the continent, librettos and scores were exported, disseminating the French
model. Two angles of study intersect and complement
each other: the question of the mixed nature of European
styles, at the junction of Italian, Germanic and French
influences, and the establishment of a market economy
based on translation but also on adaptation to national
concerns often tinged with politics. This symposium
will discuss Paris’s role as the capital of opera at the end
of the Enlightenment and its relations with the major
European musical centres. It follows an from the symposium of April 2011 devoted to the 1800-1840 period.
Under Joseph Bonaparte, then Joachim Murat, the kingdom of Naples experienced, during what to historians
is known as the “French decade” (1806-1815), a policy of
reforms strongly inspired by the Parisian model. This
period favoured the acclimatisation of the French repertoire in the city and encouraged Italians to develop a
new sensitivity not only for the dance, but also for theatre acting. Sacred music and ceremonial music in Naples
were equally inspired by the French tradition. The first
part of this symposium will be devoted to a study of the
repertoire; the second part will explore the artistic and
political contexts with an interdisciplinary approach
calling upon historians, art historians, literary historians and philosophers.

In this year of the tercentenary of the birth of Jean-Jacques
Rousseau (1712-1778), this symposium aims to show that
his Dictionnaire de Musique is not just an eighteenthcentury musical lexicography, but that, more widely,
it questions transcultural and trans-artistic comparatism, musical historiography, the history of taste and
aesthetics. The symposium will pose the question of the
specificity of this dictionary compared to other, similar
or contemporary works, and look into the history of its
editions, translations, readings and uses, particularly in
the Romantic era. Finally, the reception of the Dictionnaire will be studied, and the image and status Rousseau gradually acquired through the work.

Although it corresponds to the emergence of the Conservatoire as we know it today, the period covered by the
directorships of Ambroise Thomas, Théodore Dubois and
Gabriel Fauré is particularly inadequately known. Yet it
was then that the school’s international reputation was
confirmed, especially through the musicians trained
there, with Capet, Enesco, Cortot, Thibaud, Lubin, Long
and others playing a part in the worldwide reputation of
higher musical education in France. Hitherto neglected
in favour of study of the major contemporary aesthetic
issues that took centre stage at the Paris Conservatoire
(in particular the antagonism between academicism
and the avant-garde), the actual functioning of the establishment needs to be studied in order to assess its impact on the history of music.
Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 June 2012
Following the success on stage at the Académie Royale de
Musique of Auber’s La Muette de Portici (1828) and Rossini’s Guillaume Tell (1829), Europe was fired with enthusiasm for a spectacular genre that was both moving and
eloquent. From the tragédie lyrique of the First Empire
grand opera retained an inclination for the epic and for
immoderation, but it also introduced the more modern
sensibilities of Italian vocalità and the thrill of fiction.
From Rossini to Wagner and Verdi, composers followed
the lead of Parisian musicians in adapting historical
subjects to opera. This trend had repercussions on and
favoured the development of a heroic vocal style, instrument making and theatrical techniques as a whole. A
new operatic economy was established on a continental
scale.
Contemporaneous with the expansion of the great colonial empires, some operas, such as Félicien David’s
Lalla-Roukh, Lakmé by Léo Delibes, Massenet’s Le Roi de
Lahore and Bizet’s Les Pêcheurs de perles, heralded and
strengthened the vogue for exoticism in the arts in the
second half of the nineteenth century. In exoticism (and
its corollaries orientalism and regionalism), opera found
the means to renew (and even reinvent) itself. Fantasised
first of all, foreign art gradually began to be studied in
situ and imported, if not identically, at least with genuine concern for realism, visual or aural. Shortly before
the great world exhibitions, did such operas, based on
exotic subjects, still reflect Western society?

In preparation for a festival devoted to Théodore Gouvy, the Palazzetto Bru Zane, the Institut
Théodore Gouvy and the Moselle General Council have come together to work on the publishing and documentation of the Théodore Gouvy archive collection, which is preserved at
Hombourg-Haut.
PRIVATE ARCHIVES
As part of its support for the valorisation of precious documentary collections, the Palazzetto Bru Zane is also engaged in different types of collaboration with private collections, particularly those of the descendants of a number of nineteenth-century composers: Théodore
Dubois, Lucien Durosoir, Gabriel Pierné, Maurice Emmanuel, Fernand de La Tombelle, etc. It
is also trustee of the Christine Dudych Music Collection.

André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813)
Known principally for his opéras-comiques, which include Zémire et Azor and Richard
Cœur-de-Lion, André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry tried his hand at many genres: religious works
and instrumental music (during his Italian period), the ballet héroïque (Céphale et Procris)
and the tragédie lyrique (Andromaque). Harpsichord teacher to Marie-Antoinette, a close
friend of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, this composer of the Ancien Régime was also recognised
and rewarded after 1795 by the Revolutionary powers.
Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)
Hector Berlioz stands out as the figurehead of Romantic music. In 1830 his Symphonie fantastique laid the foundations for a new conception of instrumental music, subsequently
enriched with overtures and programme symphonies (Harold en Italie, Roméo et Juliette,
Lélio). Since he was not a virtuoso instrumentalist, Berlioz had to diversify his activities
throughout his lifetime in order to live by his music: he was a conductor, concert organiser
and music critic, and also librarian at the Paris Conservatoire.
Reception of the works of Boieldieu (1775-1834) in France and abroad
Charles Gounod (1818-1893)
Winner of the Prix de Rome, a pupil of Halévy, Lesueur and Paer, Charles Gounod let his
passion for opera turn him aside from a religious vocation. The success of his productions
reached a peak in 1859 with Faust and in 1867 with Roméo et Juliette. Celebrated as a
national treasure, Gounod left his mark through his own particular brand of sensitivity
and an impressive catalogue that was dominated by vocal compositions, despite significant
forays into orchestral and chamber music.
Coordinator: Joann Élart
The reputation of François-Adrien Boieldieu, who had an exceptional career, is largely based
upon his operas: he was one of the major French opera composers of the nineteenth century,
with works such as Le Calife de Bagdad, Jean de Paris, La Fête du village voisin and La
Dame Blanche. We see through his career – he was an instrumentalist, composer, publisher, teacher, and an imaginative concert organiser – how the musician’s status changed
between the Classical and Romantic periods.
George Onslow (1784-1853)
George Onslow was an atypical figure, who would spend one part of his year bathing in
international glory in Paris and the other quietly composing in his native Auvergne; he had
an English name and French nationality, but his tastes were deeply Germanic and he was
regarded during his lifetime as “the French Beethoven”. He was one of the great figures of
French Romanticism. A past master in the art of the string quartet and quintet, the author
of several piano trios and sonatas, he also composed three operas.
Louis-Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833)
100
Coordinator: Alexandre Dratwicki
Louis-Ferdinand Hérold is one of the outstanding composers of early French Romanticism.
Although his name and that of some of his operatic works (Zampa and Le Pré aux clercs) are
still relatively well known today, no systematic study had been carried out to show the full
extent of his originality and importance. This work was begun in 2009 with the publication
of his correspondence from Italy, followed by the recording of several of his orchestral and
chamber works.
Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)
Noticed in 1846 as a virtuoso pianist, Saint-Saëns was to be the major French composer of
the second half of the nineteenth century. Admired for his orchestral works with their very
Classical rigour and bold style (5 piano concertos, 5 symphonies, four symphonic poems), he
achieved international fame with his opera Samson et Delila (1877) and Henry VIII (1883).
He was also a music critic, organist of the church of La Madeleine, and one of the founders
of the Société nationale de musique.
Théodore Dubois (1837-1924)
Théodore Dubois experienced the great moments of French Romanticism, then the questioning of its validity and its disappearance in the first third of the twentieth century. He
was a composer, teacher and theorist; he was also maître de chapelle of the church of La
Madeleine, a member of the Institute and director of the Paris Conservatoire. His works and
writings present a complete and varied account of French musical life at the time of Ambroise Thomas, Camille Saint-Saëns and even Debussy.
101
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES | RESEARCH THEMES | On-going biographical projects
Fernand de La Tombelle (1854-1928)
Coordinator: Jean-Christophe Branger
Fernand de La Tombelle, who studied with Théodore Dubois and was close to Camille SaintSaëns, left a considerable and very varied œuvre, eclectic and even atypical in style, which
deserves to be reconsidered not only for its own merits, but also as an illustration of a form
of social and artistic activity in France at the turning point between the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. His music covers every genre. He was also a photographer, he drew
and painted, and he was a writer (theory, literature, and even works on astronomy and
cuisine).
Gustave Charpentier (1860-1956)
Coordinator: Michela Niccolai
Gustave Charpentier is one of the most original of late nineteenth-century French composers. His musical output, including Le Couronnement de la Muse (1897) and Louise (1900)
cannot be perfectly understood without analysing the social and political context in which
it was written. His dramatic works express the sociological ideals that found another outlet
in his “social project”, which saw the founding in 1901 of the Chambre Syndicale des Artistes
Musiciens de Paris and in 1902 the Conservatoire populaire de Mimi Pinson (to provide free
musical tuition for young working women in Paris).
Maurice Emmanuel (1862-1938)
Coordinator: Christophe Corbier
Taken together Maurice Emmanuel’s theoretical and artistic works provide a valuable account of French art in the years 1890 to 1940. Thanks to the Palazzetto Bru Zane, much of
his correspondence (most of which has never been seen in print before) is to be published. His
writings as a musicologist, hitherto scattered over many different publications or else preserved in his family archives, will also be gathered together for the first time and published
as a whole.
Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937)
Coordinator: Cyril Bongers
As a conductor, composer, virtuoso pianist, organist and member of the Académie des
Beaux-Arts, Gabriel Pierné was undoubtedly one of the key personalities in French music
during the first third of the twentieth century, showing in his work as a whole a fascinating
compromise between academic tradition and the most progressive advances in the art. The
time has now come to rediscover the many facets of this endearing figure, in order to shed
new light on that period.
Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947)
Coordinator: Philippe Blay
The time has come to see Reynaldo Hahn as more than just the author of Ciboulette and delightful mélodies, and as a man who moved in brilliant society circles. Stage works (operas,
operettas, musical comedies) and mélodies were the two main branches of his activity, but
other genres are also well represented. We need too to take into account every facet of his
life: he was also a writer and music critic, a public speaker, a singer in the Parisian salons,
a conductor and a theatre director.
Lucien Durosoir (1878-1955)
Until 1914 he was a successful virtuoso violinist; after 1918 he was a composer who lived
withdrawn from the world, and for a long time he was unknown simply because he refused
to have his works published. But Lucien Durosoir is now being revived through the publication of the 41 opus numbers he composed between 1919 and 1937. The main mission of the
Palazzetto’s project is to draw up an inventory and make scientific use of the very rich
documentary collection that is preserved in his family archives.
Jean Cras (1879-1932)
102
Coordinator: Georgie and Luc Durosoir
Coordinator: Stéphane Topakian
Throughout his brilliant career in the French navy, Jean Cras devoted his spare time to composition, leaving an œuvre that is important both in its variety and in its quality, although
he has now been more or less forgotten. After presenting a volume devoted to his chamber
music (Piano Trio, Cello Sonata, Largo for cello) on the Timpani label in 2008, the Palazzetto
Bru Zane has prepared several of his manuscripts for publication and, in collaboration with
Symétrie, has presented the correspondence between Jean Cras and Henri Duparc.
103
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES | RESEARCH THEMES | On-going THematic projects
Orchestral materials: from document to practice
Coordinator: Rémy Campos
The Geneva Conservatoire and the Palazzetto Bru Zane are working on a two-stage joint
research project. The first stage involves detailed cataloguing of the Geneva collections of orchestral materials dating from the closing years of the eighteenth century to the beginning
of the twentieth century. In the second stage those same collections will be studied from an
applied musicological standpoint: colloquia and study days will be followed by the publication of works on the musical practices of that period.
Répertoire des Programmes de Concert en France (RPCF)
Coordinator: Patrick Taïeb
The primary aim of the RPCF, launched in 2000 and bringing together a forty-strong team
of musicologists, is to publish all the programmes of concerts given in France between 1700
and 1914. Each volume of the RPCF is devoted to a particular place and period, e.g. “Paris
1773-1848”. Eleven such programmes (including the one just mentioned) are financed by the
Agence nationale de la recherche and supported by the University of Rouen.
Following the publication in 2008 by Symétrie and the Palazzetto Bru Zane of Jean
Mongrédien’s impressive volume devoted to Le Théâtre-Italien de Paris (1801-1831), the
Centre de musique romantique française continues its research on the subject of
cultural transfers between Paris and Italy through the opera houses. See the database:
www.theatre-italien.fr. The publication of scores is now under way (Italian arias by
Hérold, Benoist, Halévy and others), and several recordings of rare pieces are planned.
Guitar music in France in the early nineteenth century
Coordinator: Pascal Valois
The body of works for guitar published in Paris during the first half of the nineteenth century is extremely rich. Interest in the instrument in Paris was so keen that the word “guitaromanie” (guitar mania) was coined to describe it. A whole generation of French-born
composers-guitarists, now almost forgotten, worked alongside foreign guitarists. The time
has come to re-evaluate this heritage and make a selection of representative pieces widely
available through the publication of a modern edition.
The Prix de Rome for composition (1803-1968)
The staging manuals for operas premièred in Paris between 1830 and 1930
The Prix de Rome for composition, which earned its winners a stay in Italy, had not yet been
the subject of an exhaustive study. The Palazzetto Bru Zane will be publishing the first musicological survey on the subject, Le Concours du prix de Rome de musique (1803-1968), consisting
of forty articles by musicologists from different countries, coordinated by Julia Lu and Alexandre Dratwicki. An anthology of cantatas written for the Prix de Rome is also being published,
and a series of CD-books is being produced in partnership with the record label Glossa.
Opera in France from the Enlightenment to the age of Romanticism (1770-1830)
104
The Italians in Paris
Coordinator: Benoît Dratwicki
Little is known about the transitional period between the tragédie lyrique of Rameau and
the grand opéra of Meyerbeer. Yet the same style, forms and genres appear in the French
operatic works of Gluck, Cherubini, Catel, Spontini and others: clearly there was real continuity. The aim of this research project is to gain a better understanding of the genesis of
Romanticism and the evolution of vocal, instrumental, choreographic and stage techniques
during that period.
Coordinators: Michela Niccolai, Pierre Sérié and Rémy Campos
The publication – with annotations and illustrations – of a series of stage manuals for important works in the French operatic repertoire, from Auber to Debussy and Ravel, will provide researchers and practitioners alike with a very useful tool. This patrimonialisation of
the visual aspect of opera between 1830 and 1930 is an integral part of the works concerned,
their history and their reception, but it may also be a source of inspiration for new, contemporary artistic elaborations. Knowing how works were originally staged can be both
enlightening and inspiring.
The visual aspect of French opera
Coordinator: Pierre Sérié
In recent years, in archives and museum collections in Paris, researchers have brought to
light a huge amount of material providing us with precious information on the visual aspect
of the stage works (including operas) presented at France’s national theatres. Those items –
drawings or models of sets, sketches of costumes – have been listed and identified (authors,
the works for which they were intended) and now the time has come to study them from an
artistic point of view and to re-establish the pluridisciplinary dimension of French opera.

Music for the Prix de Rome
“Every possible criticism has been made of the cantata, a
false genre, and of this competition, which has little significance,” wrote Florent Schmitt. The prestige of the Prix de
Rome, awarded annually from 1803 to 1968, made it a highly coveted prize. Taxed with academicism, denigrated and
even derided, it became synonymous with the bad taste of a
“decadent Romanticism”. Yet it has to be admitted that the
Prix de Rome constantly maintained its reputation; it never
went stale, never succumbed to the banality of constant
repetition, never failed to take into account pedagogical,
political and aesthetic considerations. The time has come
for this repertoire, which is all too often criticised (although
it is almost unknown!), to be given its rightful place in the
history of French music, and for the myths and beliefs regarding this very famous prize awarded by the Académie
des Beaux-Arts to be set straight. After all, Berlioz, Gounod, Bizet, Massenet, Debussy and Dutilleux were among
its winners. As part of the revival of the French Romantic repertoire that is now under way, the Palazzetto Bru
122
Zane – Centre de musique romantique française decided to
launch a vast project devoted to the cantatas written for
the Prix de Rome competition and the compositions that
were sent from Rome by the winners. This involves, on the
one hand, the publication of musical scores and musicological works, in collaboration with the publishers Symétrie,
and, on the other hand, recordings, in collaboration with
Glossa, the Brussels Philharmonic – The Orchestra of Flanders (formerly the Vlaams Radio Orkest) and the Flemish
Radio Choir (Vlaams Radio Koor). The first in this series of
CD-books (released in autumn 2009) is devoted to Claude
Debussy. Camille Saint-Saëns is the subject of the second
volume (winter 2011). Saint-Saëns did not win the prize,
but he nevertheless composed some extremely interesting
works for the competition: two choruses and two cantatas
that hitherto had never been recorded. In October 2011, a
volume devoted to Gustave Charpentier will enable us to
hear the complete versions of Didon, La Fête des Myrtes,
Impressions d’Italie and La Vie du Poète.

CONCOURS INTERNATIONAL DE MUSIQUE DE CHAMBRE DE LYON
FRUITS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP…
PARIS INTERNATIONAL OPERA COMPETITION
FRUITS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP…
The Lyon International Chamber Music Competition, founded in 2004, has
chosen to follow the development of the careers of young chamber musicians.
Six disciplines – piano trio (violin, cello, piano); brass quintet; voice and piano (French and German art songs); duo violin-piano; wind quintet; string
quartet – were chosen for the importance of their respective repertoires. The
Lyon competition, which has been a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) since 2006, receives candidates from
all over the world and attracts judges of great repute. It associates various
concert organisations in its activities: Bayer Season Leverkusen, Germany;
Berlioz Festival, La Côte-Saint-André; Fondation Royaumont, Paris; Musée en
Musique, Grenoble; Auditorium du Louvre; France Musique; Banff Center for
the Arts, Canada; Palazzetto Bru Zane, Venice; Festival Radio France-Montpellier, and others. A competition is a momentous event in a young artist’s life. It
involves a long period of preparation. In order to contribute effectively to the
development of the repertoire, the Lyon International Chamber Music Competition decided to set each year contemporary works and ones that are rarely
included in the usual concert repertoires. Since 2009, collaboration with the
Palazzetto Bru Zane has accompanied and extended this approach, with the
working-out of a list of works by French Romantic composers to be set in the
competition, and reception of the winners for one or more concerts at the
Palazzetto.
For the 2011 edition of the Lyon
International Chamber Music
Competition, devoted to the piano
trio, the Palazzetto Bru Zane
presented a prize for the best
interpretation of one of the set
pieces: Romantic trios by Georges
Pfeiffer, Cécile Chaminade and
Alphonse Duvernoy. The artists
chosen are also invited to give
a performance in Venice during
the 2011- 2012 season, as part of
the festival Le salon romantique.
Performances of the same
programme will later be given on
tour.
The first edition of the biennial Paris International Opera Competition was
held at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées from 15 to 17 October 2010. The competition spotlights nineteenth-century French opera, which is why the Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française wished to be
associated with its initiative through the presentation of a Special Prize. The
aim of the competition is to discover talented young singers who are about to
embark on their careers, and to launch them on the international scene, with
the support of a jury composed of directors of major European opera houses.
The Special Prize rewards vocal qualities, but also acting abilities and stage
presence. The competition invites young singers from all over the world to
show their skills in the French repertoire.
As well as awarding a Special Prize,
the Palazzetto Bru Zane will be
inviting the winner, Julie Fuchs,
to give a concert in Venice. The
programme, devoted to the French
operatic repertoire, will include
both rare and well-known pieces.
This concert, given on 8 October
2011, will be part of the inaugural
festival Virtuosity. It will then be
presented at other venues through
the Palazzetto’s partnership
network.

Concours international de piano d’Orléans
FRUITS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP...
QuatuorS à Bordeaux
The Association “Orléans Concours International” (OCI) was founded in 1989
to create and run a piano competition centred on the twentieth- and twentyfirst-century repertoires and aiming to reveal one or more artists each year,
selected by a highly qualified panel of judges. The repertoire (from 1900 to
the present day) includes the great schools of the early twentieth century as
well as new works. With the aid of the OCI, the winners are required to pay
tribute to the different types of music in a spirit of tolerance and openness, by
giving as many concerts and master classes as possible. Besides the prestigious concerts and invitations to appear at the great French festivals (Metz, La
Roque d’Anthéron, Acanthe, etc.), following each edition of the competition,
the winners appear on tour in South America, Asia and the United States.
The winner of the first prize also records a CD under professional conditions
(most recently, Le Temps Recréé with Florence Cioccolani, including works by
Carter, Boulez, Mantovani, Matalon and Boucourechliev; and works dedicated
to Enesco, played by Christopher Falzone). The first competition was held in
1994; since then it has revealed talents such as Hideki Nagano, Fabio Grasso,
Toros Can, Winston Choi, Francesco Tristano Schlime, Wilhelm Latchoumia,
Florence Cioccolani and Christopher Falzone. The Association also organises
the “Brin d’Herbe” junior competition, and a regional tour for the winners.
The Palazzetto Bru Zane will
present a prize for the best
performance of a work chosen by
the candidates from the following
list of set pieces: Théodore Dubois
(Les Heures or Poèmes alpestres,
excerpts), Jean-Jules Roger-Ducasse
(Rythmes and Sonorités), Paul
Dukas (La Plainte au loin du Faune
or Hommage à Debussy), Déodat de
Séverac (Cerdaña or En Languedoc,
excerpts), Guy Ropartz (Musique
au jardin or Nocturnes), Gabriel
Pierné (Trois Pièces formant suite
de concert or Étude de concert),
Florent Schmitt (Pan au fond
des blés lunaires s’accouda). The
prizewinners will be invited
to appear in Venice, during the
Palazzetto’s 2014-2015 season. The
concert will also be taken on tour.
The Association Quatuors à Bordeaux aims to promote chamber music, and
in particular the string quartet – a rich musical form in an exceptional
repertoire. Thus every three years it holds an International String Quartet
Competition (member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions), which since 1999 has taken over from the prestigious Évian competition and is considered one of the most important quartet competitions
in the world. In the interests of harmonisation within Europe, the Bordeaux
Competition alternates with those of London and Reggio Emilia. A competition was thus held in 2010 (10–16 May, Grand Théâtre, Bordeaux), and the
next one will be in 2013. In the intervening years the association organises
a festival, the “Rencontres européennes de Musique de Chambre”, to promote
winners of the Bordeaux and other competitions. It also proposes a String
Quartet Academy, in which a few ensembles are given the opportunity to
follow a master class with teachers of world renown. The City of Bordeaux,
which has hosted this event since 1999, provides part of the financing; the
rest coming from private patrons, including some of the famous wine châteaux of the area (Petrus, Cheval Blanc, Yquem, Haut Brion, Lafite Rothschild,
Mouton Rothschild) and large companies wishing to support this excellent
event. The association, whose board chairman is Mr. Alain Pichon, is directed
by Bernard Lummeaux et Alain Meunier.
At the next competition (2013), the
Palazzetto Bru Zane will reward
the best performance of a French
Romantic quartet chosen from a
list of set pieces. The prize winners
will be invited to appear in Venice
in the course of the Palazzetto’s
2014-2015 season. The concert
will also be given during a tour
organised by the Palazzetto. From
the 2011-2012 season, the Palazzetto
and Quatuors à Bordeaux will
be co-organising various master
classes, as well as each presenting
the Quatuor Raphaël, winner of the
Bordeaux competition in 2010, in
a programme including pieces by
Théodore Dubois.

Haute École de musique de Genève et de Lausanne (HEM):
WAGNER EN FRANÇAIS
In 1897 Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg by Richard Wagner received its Paris
première, sung in French at the Palais Garnier. In the unanimous opinion of
critics and public alike, the production surpassed that of Bayreuth. This opera was presented many times between 1897 and the First World War. Today
no one remembers the Paris première of Wagner's only comedy, but the Paris
Opéra is one of the few theatres in the world that preserves the memory of
its performances within its own walls. Indeed, in the collections of the Paris
Opéra Library and Museum, many documents are devoted to the 1897 version
of Die Meistersinger, thus making it possible to revive it in its entirety. The
reconstruction of the first scene of Act III invites us to view and listen to this
famous opera in a different way, performed by students and graduates of the
Geneva and Lausanne HEM in its original staging, with the original sets and
costumes, and in the French version by Alfred Ernst (1897).

Jeune Orchestre atlantique
The rich collections of the Library
and Museum of the Paris Opéra
enable the reconstruction of
performances as they were given
more than a century ago. The
Wagner in Paris project will
present the first scene from Act III of
Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger
von Nürnberg in the staging of the
1897 Paris première, i.e. with the
sets and costumes that were used
at the Palais Garnier. Students of
the Geneva and Lausanne HEM will
sing the score in French, as was
customary at that time.
Created in 1996 on the initiative of La Chapelle Royale, the Centre d’Études
Supérieures de Musique et de Danse de Poitou-Charentes and the Abbaye aux
Dames at Saintes, the Jeune Orchestre atlantique comes together for orchestral or chamber sessions. It appears regularly at the Saintes Festival, conducted by Philippe Herreweghe and guest conductors including Sigiswald Kuijken, Jos van Immerseel, Marc Minkowski, David Stern, Christophe Rousset
and others, but also elsewhere in France and in Europe. These sessions enable
young musicians nearing the end of their studies or already at the beginning of their professional careers to gain experience in performance of the
Classical and Romantic repertoires on period instruments. The instructors,
all members of the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées and other orchestras specialising in historical performance, teach at the major French and European
conservatoires and offer instrumentalists a specific interpretative approach.
The Jeune Orchestre atlantique, which includes young musicians from all
over the world, takes part in many varied projects (operas, symphonic works,
chamber music). Since 2009 it has taken part in actions of the Palazzetto
Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française. This season it will be
present for a training session with the conductor David Stern.

Jeunes Talents
Académie musicale de Villecroze
Founded in 1998, Jeunes Talents organises 150 concerts a year between September and June during the season, and in July for its European Festival. The
concerts are given in famous buildings belonging to the national heritage
– every Saturday at the Hôtel de Soubise, home of the French National Archives, in the heart of the Marais district; two Wednesdays a month in the
Colbert Auditorium of the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art (INHA); once a
month at the Musée-Promenade de Marly-le-Roi (Louveciennes); also once a
month at the Mairie of the ninth arrondissement in Paris – but also in several hospitals of the Assistance publique – Hôpitaux de Paris. Jeunes Talents
is guided in its actions by five important themes: the future (presentation of
young musicians, winners of the competition and future international soloists); teaching and introduction to classical music (organising talks, free
open rehearsals, "awareness days" for children, and so on); diversity (varied
programmes, including contemporary and traditional music); Europe (inviting students of the great European music schools to meet young musicians
trained in France); solidarity towards new audiences (availability of lowprice seats, free entrance for children under the age of twelve, beneficiaries of
"Cultures du Cœur" and our partners’ employees – not to mention the many
concerts with free admission!).

The Académie musicale de Villecroze supports and encourages talented
young artists in a unique location in the heart of Provence designed for the
exchange and transmission of knowledge and art. Its founder, Anne Gruner
Schlumberger, opened the Academy in October 1989 with the ambition of
making it into “a buzzing hive of music”. On her death in 1993, she was succeeded by Anne Postel-Vinay, her granddaughter. A dozen master classes are
held each year, as well as composition and musicology workshops. These activities take place from February to November: for ten days, twelve to twenty
young talents from all over the world come to work with eminent teachers
in an environment conducive to exchanges and the sharing of music. The
Academy attaches great importance to helping these young people (through
concerts, CD recordings) to launch their careers.

American Guild of Organists – The New York City
Chapter - Yale Institute of Sacred Music
Master class “French vocal church music and its accompaniment (18501914)”
Vocal church music of the second half of the nineteenth century is still little
known. Only a few pieces – Gounod’s Ave Maria, Panis angelicus by César
Franck and the Fauré Requiem, for example – are regularly heard in concert or are sung during church services, yet dozens of works of great interest
remain to be discovered. This master class for American musicians makes
available the latest musicological research, as well as practical experience
accumulated over many years of working on this repertoire. It will explore
several avenues. First of all, the use of information contained in the original
scores: the first editions contain a wealth of information on the original scoring for three voices (children’s choir, tenors and basses), phrasing, tempos,
and so on. Moreover, the question of the forces used at the time merits further
study in the light of information found in church records (number of singers,
use of the church choir and additional instruments such as the harp, cello or
double bass). Knowledge of keyboard instruments used in the second half of
the nineteenth century (choir organ, harmonium, etc.) gives us a better understanding of the accompaniment of vocal music before the motu proprio of
1903. Finally, the first sound recordings (made between 1900 and 1930) shed
light on the interpretation of sacred music, and also on the pronunciation of
Latin.
