Recorded in the middle of summer 2020 in Paris on a grand Bechstein piano, Maurice Emmanuel's six Sonatines will be a happy discovery for many music lovers. Under the agile and sensitive fingers of pianist Patrick Hemmerlé, they set sail for a neoclassicism reminiscent of Ravel, paying homage to Couperin while revealing a musical landscape with broad horizons.
Maurice Emmanuel's music touches on all styles with a fantasy and a freedom of tone that is sometimes disconcerting, proof of a fundamentally original and independent spirit. Born in the same year as Debussy (1862), but dying twenty years later, the composer was also a knowledgeable musicologist. A Burgundian like Edgar Varèse, it was in his native country that he began to take an interest in the folk songs of the winegrowers, traces of which can be found in his First Sonatina. His meeting with Debussy was to be decisive, although he never tried to imitate him. The holder of a doctorate in literature, he taught music history at the Conservatoire de Paris while building up his own career as a composer.
Maurice Emmanuel's six Sonatines testify to the originality of his language and at the same time encompass the variety of his influences, from French folklore to Greek and Hindu accents that lend his music a certain exoticism. They represent a major contribution to French piano music. © François Hudry/Qobuz
