A new discovery for me. Brilliant as the title suggest. If the world could only be filled with dreamers instead of warriors.... Far ahead of his time... RIP
Great coincidence…Just heard a piano trio by Dupont this past summer at the Napa Valley Chamber Music series that blew me away. Absolutely wonderfully written music. Thank you.
I wonder if he ever had the chance to communicate with Erik Satie. I can imagine them sitting by a lakeside... not talking a lot, mostly in silence, taking in the day, .. occasionally exchanging poignant words, .. in mutual understanding. I see them in a painting by Seurat.
Love french composer from this period, never heard of him ! Thank you very much There is something different with this "late romantic/impresionnist/pre modern" harmonies, man...
Truly beautiful! I got to discover him because a classmate played the complete La maison dans les dunes for his exam. It became a personal favourite of mine, I definitely recommend to listen to it. Thanks for posting
Lili Boulanger, Nadia's younger sister, died four years later (in 1918) at the age of 24, also from tuberculosis. Boulanger won the Prix de Rome prize in 1913, at the age of 19, the first woman to ever do so.
Such a beautiful piece, especially the positive theme which resembles something I can't describe... enjoying beautiful past memories connnected what it is to come? I do not know. Does anybody know what form is this piece in? ABA? Also, thanks for broadening our musical minds ☺
Check his Poème for piano quintet, it was available with its score on UA-cam not so long ago but has now been deleted.. You can also find all his piano music on the fromsuntosun channel, and his symphonic poem “Chant de la destinée” on the Musickis channel.
Great rec, thanks! This was new to me. Once again I'm astounded by the wealth of the piano quintet repertoire, it is a top-tier chamber subgenre for me.
His name isn't given in the video or title. Several of the comments mention "Dupont." Searched and found he was Gabriel Dupont (1 March 1878 - 2 August 1914).
@@angreagach No worries! It’s actually something I need to think about more since not everyone automatically reads the description. Thanks for watching!
Filtsch is the youngest example I can think of; another is Ludwig Schuncke (1810-1834), who might have competed with the likes of Liszt or Thalberg had he lived longer. Tuberculosis was brutal without modern medicine.

1- Oh, poor me who had wrongly thought this Impressionist had only lived 2 about 33 years of age, or so. What a great Master nevertheless ; don't you agree Piano Curio?. 2- It'd hurt none, but on the contrary if those who think oTherweiss would give him another try, a second better listen , a deeper listen at that, for THE man's soul as reflected in His delicate bird song IS sublimely glorious , celestially so in more ways than just and jusTly One, indeed! 3- ...Shema!!!
What a lovely piece of REAL MUSIC. I can't wait to use it as a church prelude and to see what other curios you've served up. Do you know Jongen's Clair de lune and Soleil a midi?
@@PianoCurio Happy to. After writing that I was delighted to see you feature another organ composer -- the great Widor, tragically forgotten by the musical "mainstream" today!
A wonderful piece ! Dupont is a great discovery. This is a good performance (or is it synthetic ?) but I must say the loud key clicking noises got on my nerves 🙄🙄
The clicking was a result of going for an “intimate” recording, but perhaps I got carried away with it. I will note this feedback for the future, thanks for listening! (I perform all of my recordings in Pianoteq, by the way, so it’s not a traditional recording in that sense)
The choice of a more „uprighty“ sound was quite nice, you could have turned down hammer noise and added a touch more room. I would definitely prefer more dynamics, esp. the pp sections. Pianoteq is quite a wonderful instrument I have been using it for years.
@@realraven2000 this is great feedback, thank you. I am far from mastering Pianoteq but I am learning more and more how to get what I want out of it. Each video will be better than the last.
Was thinking that right away. And Mozart 36 years, Schubert 32, Bellini 34, Mendelsohn 38 and many more. All of these, incl. Chopin, showed exceptional musical genius as children already, though.
See, this is why we need more channels like this, I'd NEVER find this on my own
Love to see comments like this. Many more deep cuts and rare finds to come, my friend 👍
Damn right, maybe would hear on classic fm but not know who it was and be driving so can’t look up 😂
Soit un peu plus curieux, et sort du carcan germanique !

I didn't think I'd like it based on the introductory notes. But I found myself unable to stop listening. A wonderful piece!
Same
Started out very cheesy

I had never heard of this composer before finding him on your channel. Thank you!
I've never heard of this composer until now. This is very beautiful and left me longing for more of him. Thanks for this!
Wow. Once again YT gives us treasures, to listen to over and over again!
A hauntingly beautiful piece, played with great sensitivity! Thanks for introducing me to a composer I didn't know about.
Great coincidence…Just heard a piano trio by Dupont this past summer at the Napa Valley Chamber Music series that blew me away. Absolutely wonderfully written music. Thank you.
Gorgeous. Inspiring. Give us MORE of this! ... please.
I studied through all course work of DMA level and failed to note this composer. Thank you for this new understanding.
Impressionist music is some of the most beautiful and reflective of life's journey.
I wonder if he ever had the chance to communicate with Erik Satie.
I can imagine them sitting by a lakeside... not talking a lot, mostly in silence, taking in the day, .. occasionally exchanging poignant words, .. in mutual understanding.
I see them in a painting by Seurat.
Whilst not morbid, it glances past life into somewhere else! I wish I could still play! You bring us something very philosphical, Thank you!
What gorgeous harmonies!
Nice work ! I shall seek deeper in the work of this neglected composer.
The piano sound is so clear
Thanks !
Never heard of him, it's really beautiful and mysterious. Thank you!
Exquisite....a jewel.
2:52 was the best part of this piece. Unbelievably beautiful
When a composer writes ‘ppp’ you know it has to be a special moment
This is amazing. Melodic and lyrical yet with such fine form and transitions
the piece was beautiful. Would love to hear more.
Sounds like Satie and Debussy, however more sad and mysterious.
Much more Debussy than Satie imo.
Love french composer from this period, never heard of him ! Thank you very much
There is something different with this "late romantic/impresionnist/pre modern" harmonies, man...
Thank you for turning me on to Dupont!
Truly beautiful!

Wow! This piece perfectly captures and evokes the crepuscular moments before bedtime. What a beauty.
Beautiful!
Very nice.
Very lovely and Debussy-esque.

Merci
So great. I'd never heard of him either! Thank you for opening this up to me.
Beautiful music. I've been wanting to hear Dupont's concertante works for some time, but this certainly whets my appetite for the bigger works!
Beauty in sonic form
I was lucky to hear one of his violin pieces at a recital a few years ago.
How on earth did the UA-cam algorithm know I sight read through this today!
Hmm did you google Dupont maybe? It knows all!
An unexpectedly contemporary soundworld! I can imagine this played poignantly on the flavour-of-the-month felt piano.
This is a very nice piece.

@@timweather3847 Up, the 2009 animated Disney/Pixar movie. There's a very brief moment where the melody reminds me of the melody from the Up music.

If only Carl Filtsch (1830-1845) had lived past fifteen. He was a pupil of Chopin and you can find some of his beautiful music on UA-cam,
Filtsch is the youngest example I can think of; another is Ludwig Schuncke (1810-1834), who might have competed with the likes of Liszt or Thalberg had he lived longer. Tuberculosis was brutal without modern medicine.
@@PianoCurioJulian Scriabin is another obscure one, and he died when he was only 11
@@PianoCurio Lili Boulanger (sister of the famous Nadja Boulanger) also wrote nice stuff
Had no idea about Julian Scriabin, how tragic.
Very nice. Very French,
Nice piece. Cries out for a proper performance by a human.
Crazy voicing
I was wondering if someone could explain the time stamps? Is it some kind of musical form I’m not familiar with?

From the description: ".. Dupont's style was already developed in its embrace of French modernism". Thank you, thank you for not using the I-word!
Or the 'D' word (Debussy)?
What a lovely piece of REAL MUSIC. I can't wait to use it as a church prelude and to see what other curios you've served up. Do you know Jongen's Clair de lune and Soleil a midi?
Those are new to me, thanks for the recommendations!
@@PianoCurio Happy to. After writing that I was delighted to see you feature another organ composer -- the great Widor, tragically forgotten by the musical "mainstream" today!
Once all canon composers are restored with whole beat, we will find that there was a lot of atmosphere and meditation in music before impressionism.
Interesting
Fascinating piano sound. A French antique?
I was going for something like that, but I actually used a Steinway B with a close mic, believe it or not.
@@PianoCurio Maybe it is the una corda, but there is some very distinctive timbre in the low register during quiet bits.
at least he lived longer than mozart
You could say the title for pretty much every composer save Haydn.
True… or Leo Ornstein (1893-2002), I think he showed us just about everything he had in him.
Or Chopin
@@ensiehsafary7633 Chopin died at 39 likely of tuberculosis. So, no, also Chopin.
No way in that first picture you show you had to play 9 notes together with 5 fingers?

Who's playing here?

Still longer than Schubert and Mozart!
Right, but at least the world knows the music of Schubert and Mozart!
Who is the composer ?

who is the author?

This is great but Chopin only lived until 39. This is French impressionism
Was thinking that right away. And Mozart 36 years, Schubert 32, Bellini 34, Mendelsohn 38 and many more. All of these, incl. Chopin, showed exceptional musical genius as children already, though.
As much as I hate to admit, AI is snapping at the heels of credible music composition.
? what does this mean in the context of this video i'm so confused
What's your problem
Clearly a fan of Debussy.
I think it's pretty tepid!
Sounds like an anemic Debussy. Nice though.
Quit hiding behind an alias and identify yourself, pianist.
🥸 Sinbad the sailor
sounds a lot like grieg
Mozart at 35💀
could be a song of Kate Bush's
