François (or Francis) Thomé (1850-1909) spent his professional life in France, but was actually born in Mauritius. He studied piano under Marmontel at the Paris Conservatoire, and composed in various forms. He is remembered today mainly for his once popular piece 'Simple Aveu'. Like many of Thomé's pieces this one - from around 1884 - is very light textured (as befits the water-nymph subject), with large right-hand leaps. My thumbnail shows a colourized image of Marie Taglioni in a ballet also called 'La naïade', premiered at the King's Theatre, London, May 3, 1831 (source: Jerome Robbins Dance Division, The New York Public Library. (1831-09).
