Urgent request: please get the second movement out of my head. I heard this work for the first time yesterday. I can't stop listening to it and thinking about it, I just can't stop. What an absolute masterpiece! I can't believe I never heard this before
Another fine version of this composition can be found on the Largo label featuring the Trio Koln. This trio fuses Tailleferre's ideas seamlessly from early in her career to her final years. Tailleferre was a musical genius who was gifted with a boundless facility and the one trait that few are gifted with: the ability to compose attractive yet unique music, like Poulenc, or Ravel, or Satie.
Grmaine Tailleferre had a very subtle feeling for music, which does not exclude energy. I never understood why she joined the so-called "groupe des six", supposed dedicated to "music-hall like" music, which is stupid. Listen to Honegger and explain me the influence of music hall in that music !!! . This group is mainly issued from the imagination of Jean Cocteau and his need to create myths which match to his distorted vision of society. .Anyway, we have here an excellent and delicate music, which has a place to take in our music, and which should take it. What a nice idea to review it at the end of her life, in view of the experience gained !
Gerard Begni. It is true that Honegger was mainly influenced by composers steeped in the Teutonic traditions antithetical to Les Six, a few of his compositions however paid homage to characteristics consistent with Les Six as with his Concertino for Piano and Orchestra and a few chamber pieces that are clearly within the domain of the New Music. As for Tailleferre, she stood at the heart of the Group’s formation as Erik Satie referred to her as his “spiritual child” when he chanced Tailleferre playing through her “Jeux de plein air” for two pianos with a colleague whom I fail to recall at the moment, a clearly iconic moment for it was with the hearing of this piece that Satie began to conjure the germ of what would become Les Six by forming Les Nouveaux Jeunes (“The New Young”) with Tailleferre at its core. Tailleferre’s “Image”, composed slightly later than “Jeux…” further places her in the Group’s orbit with its striking instrumentation, optimistic and bright in atmosphere. Another point regarding Honegger: When asked by Demets to contribute to the important collective score, the “Album des Six”, with each of the six contributors represented, Honegger did not hesitate to acquiesce. One more point: one cannot define Les Six as a group defined by delving into the domain of the Music Hall-this is not consistent with the goals of both Satie and Cocteau when the latter mentor wrote those famous lines: “l want a French Music from France.” This aim was in good part initiated by Germany’s invasion of France and the repulsion that it brought for having wrapped the brightness of French life under the pall of widespread death.
@@gerardbegni2806 Indeed, I do. It is at the same time ironic that the first member to exit the group was Louis Durey, while the exit of Honegger may have been more probable. However, considering Durey’s music, especially during the years following WW1, it was for extra-musical reasons that he left the assemblage to retire to St. Tropez. He was an highly, intellectual, asocial being who found the peaceful environs of that southern region that satisfied his need to be composing in peace without the sometimes hectic lifestyle in Paris, and his lack of a desire for fame, that motivated his decision to disassociate from the group. He even refused to contribute to Cocteau’s ballet written for Les Six, “Les Marie’s de la Tour Eiffel”, after having committed to the project, leaving the Album des Six as the only collective score contributed to each of the six members.

Le panthéisme matériel ou panthéisme naturaliste identifie Dieu au monde. Il y a Dieu, il y a le monde, mais dieu se fond dans le monde. Le monde matériel est la seule réalité. Cette Divinité dans son abstraction n'est que la somme des merveilles de la nature et de tout ce qui existe. C'est ce que m'inspire cette superbe image !
Just like to add that this is a Piano Trio and the pianist should be listed first, then the violinist and then the cellist. This always annoys pianists - of which I am not, incidentally. It does remind me of the well known story when Rubenstein, Heifetz and Feuerman were rehearsing and when Heifetz saw the L.P cover design exclaimed "Why is your name at the head Arthur and not mine? Rubenstein quickly replied that it is a Piano Trio and even if God were playing the violin then the pianist would be listed first
Aaaah le "Groupe des six" !! Ce groupe est principalement issu de l'imagination de l'écrivain français Jean Cocteau et de son besoin de créer des mythes correspondant à sa vision déformée de la société.

What a beautiful, melancholic harmonic sensibility and lyricism: Romantic, Impressionist, populist !!! Loved this Trio by Tailleferre !

some nice moments oh la la.... bravo!
Tailleferre succeeds in producing a rich romantic sonority in which a work serious and playful unfolds. It seems that everything she writes is lovely.
Couldn't agree more ole Top! And, perhaps with this splendid composition, shades of Benjamin Britten's, "Fantasy for Oboe and Strings."
Wonderful music.
Wow, that intro is beautiful.
This music is definitely worth rescuing.......
Thank you! I heard this just once and have been looking for it!
forceful and compelling, conjures strong images--I like this very much
Wunderschön!
Best channel ever.
There is a similarity of the themes between the second movement and her toccata for two pianos.

merci! Tres interessant
No need to diminish other composers when you like one composer.

@@robertshapiro3733 Perfectly right. You should also love "Pastorale d'Ete" by Honegger.

wonderful. I can definitely hear Ravel's influence in this.
where can I find scores for this wonderful Trio?

Haha that’s a great one
This would have been a perfect work for Ginette and Jean.
I think I heard a few direct quotes from Ravel. Great piece nonetheless.

Sounds Ravel
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller Not surprising, she was one of “Les Six”. www.britannica.com/topic/Les-Six
Yes, I am sure Ravel influenced her quite a bit as she did spend quite a bit of time with him :)
