Cécile Chaminade - Guitare

I have played a lot of pieces for piano by Cécile Chaminade, and at some point most people will notice her very pianistic style of writing. An example would be at 1:39, where she stops the left hand, to have more time for the hands in the transition. There are lots of examples actually, and I like that her music often sounds quite difficult although it can be learned rather quickly (e.g Toccata). This piece is REALLY fun to play, maybe you can hear that too, and therefore I am happy to upload and share this with you; there are professional recordings on Youtube, but no sheet music video :) One last thing, in the end there is a motive which reminds me very strongly of the theme of the (incredibly beautiful) piano concerto by Lydia Auster in G major. I mean 2:22. Chaminade was born 1857 in Paris, and she took piano lessons with Benjamin Godard (I uploaded the composition ’Trembling Leaves’ by him on my channel.). She got famous with 18 years and started to go on tour in Europe. Later on, also Greece, Kanada, USA. Since 1950, some years after her death, her works have been quite forgotten, although she succeeded with them and they mostly are of high quality.
