Phillip Sear plays a summer idyll - 'Before the festival' - in a piano arrangement from a 1912 orchestral suite - 'Summer pleasures' - by the French composer Fernand Andrieu (1863-1935). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The French composer and cornet player Vincent de Paul-Fernand Andrieu (1863-1935) studied cornet at the Paris Conservatoire, and went on to teach the instrument at Le Mans Conservatoire, and play in the Nice opera orchestra. He must have been extremely industrious, as he also managed a music publishing business in Paris, and found time to compose a considerable body of music. I'm not sure if this work was arranged for piano by Andrieu himself, but it was published by him for both piano, and orchestra. One can hear in the central section some fanfare-like passages, which seem to evoke preparations for a festival interrupting a quiet summer day.
