Composer Cecile Chaminade
Cecile Chaminade was a French pianist and composer who made her debut as a soloist at the age of 18. She toured France, England and the United States, and, at that time in history, a woman performing her avvn music was unusual.
Recommended tempo for this piece is 72 dotted crotchet beats per bar. The mood is generally calm, so a good legato touch is necessary and sustain pedalling is marked frequently in the music. It is important to note that in some bars the sustain pedal is to be held all the way through, and in other bars the sustain pedal is only to be held for half the bar.
Be careful to ensure that the 3-note left hand slurred quaver patterns are not too loud - they must not overpower the melody. As a general rule, aim for the 3rd quaver of each left hand group to be slightly lighter in touch, so as to create a calm and pleasant accompaniment throughout.
