Tickets "at the door" - until sold out
  1. Embarquement pour Cythère, for violin and piano - Erik Satie
  2. Duetto in D for cello and double bass - Gioachino Rossini
  3. Le Merle noir - Olivier Messiaen
  4. L'Isle joyeuse for Piano - Claude Debussy
  5. Sonata for Oboe and Piano - Henri Dutilleux

Paris Conservatoire test pieces are once more to the fore in this concert. Both Messiaen’s miniature masterpiece and Dutilleux’s beautiful early Oboe Sonata were written to challenge students at the prestigious institution.

Debussy’s L’Isle Joyeuse shares its influence with the Satie piece that starts this concert: French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau’s Embarquement pour Cythère (The Embarkation for Cythera). Chopin’s influence on Debussy was immense and the structure of this piece owes much to the sonata forms of the earlier composer.
