Phillip Sear plays a narrative piece by the French composer Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy (c1802-80). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of three Duvernoys represented in my channel. Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy was a French pianist, composer and teacher at the Paris Conservatoire, who is best known for his Elementary Studies, Op. 176, which are still in print and used today. This enjoyable 'morceau de genre', published in 1859, has an underlying story, indicated by the section titles shown on the video. Basically, it has a programme similar to Beethoven's 'Pastoral' symphony: bells are heard, then there is a mini-storm; people go to the chapel to pray; then there is another mini-storm, and the the villagers sing and dance (a 'loure'). My thumbnail shows a vintage (English) village summer scene ( from tinyurl.com/ydcpv9rh ). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
