Thus ends the series on Les Six! This was a _mammoth_ project that I started back in June. While longtime viewers will note that I had a video on Tailleferre as part of my March 2017 series on women in music, it felt entirely wrong to leave that tiny video as it was and talk about the other five in such detail. In any event, I'd like to thank new patrons *Dillon Braisher* and *RJ Parsons* for their recent support in helping to make this channel possible.
I like how you've woven in materials from both Mitgang's article and Shapiro's books. The first volume of Tailleferre's complete piano works is currently under production with Nicolas Horvath. We believe, currently, that there will be four CDs in all, including a great deal of music never heard before. After that, there will probably be the complete piano concerti (she wrote a total of eight works for solo piano and orchestra, if you count the concerti with other instruments) and then the orchestral music. Thank you for helping us along in this work!
Since my first exposure to Germaine Tailleferre's music in 1988 my life has taken on new dimensions. Indeed, the experience of hearing her Premieres Prouesses and Suite Burlesque included on the CD program by duo-pianists Corre and Exerjean took me to France seek her heirs for information. I made contact with the composer's family and eventually acquired the autograph manuscripts during the late 1990s. I interviewed members of her family while gleaning information from various sources including from BN (the national library of France). Your lectures appearing on the channel regarding members of Les Six and Les Six itself are wonderful. I have wholly enjoyed your other lectures as with the ones dealing with Bruckner and Mahler. I am proud that you have on your bookshelves a copy of my Les Six volume published by Peter Owen in 2011. I am planning to contribute to your channel as you are giving your audience such fascinating and intriguing talks. I will leave comments relating to your other talks about the remaining members of Les Six et al. Thank you for bringing such important lectures to the fore I am so happy to have found your channel.
@@robertshapiro3733 Wow-thank you so much! I'm glad you thought I did well by a group of composers to whom you've dedicated so much wonderful scholarship.
@@PaulWehage Thank you Mr. Wehage: for noting my work but most of all for publishing a major part of Tailleferre's extensive catalog. Your editions are first rate. Editions beautifully designed and executed. All the while a major composition from your pen is in the process of being recorded.
@@ClassicalNerd Thank you Thomas Little. You have indeed done well by giving justice to Tailleferre and the conceptualization of her as a genius. She was able to be simple yet elegant with the music she made and the manner in which she lived. Bravo once again.
Thank you for this amazing video on her life! You've done a great job putting her life into context and not skipping out on the ugly parts. Very saddening to hear how many challenges she faced, especially from her family and abusive husbands. I'm glad she persevered anyway, because her 'Valse Lente' has to be one of my favorite pieces, in general.
I had never heard of Germaine Tailleferre (shame on me) until the ABRSM set her piano Impromptu as one of the Grade 8 exam pieces for the current season. It's a very melodic piece with interesting modulations. I'm glad to learn more about the person who wrote it through your video.
I've learned a great deal with these videos about Les Six, great favorites of mine. Thank you for these first-class productions, I have saved them for reference.
That was very interesting, thank you . Charles Koechlin ( I have to admit I'm a fan ) his surname is actually pronounced "Kek-la", i.e. the n is virtually silent. His son and daughter came to England many years ago to pick up a 'Gramophone' award for a recording of some of their fathers music and after that they came to my house for tea .
Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them very much! One thing: I feel sometimes you are really overusing jump cuts - it greatly reduces the quality of listening
Could you do a video about Carl Maria von Weber? And could you also mention his clarinet concertos, they are a really important part of the clarinet repertoire. Thank you so much!😊
Hi could you please do a video on Jean-Philippe Rameau. His operas are magnificent (especially Platée) and he made such a great contribution to the world of music theory.

The one we've been all waiting for, she was such and underrated genius, alongside Lili Boulanger and Ruth Crawford Seeger
Nadia was so afraid that she would win the Pri de Rome before Lili. She should have!
@@PaulWehage lili should've lived longer, it's a shame john cage and elliott carter lived almost to 100, but life is unfair

I like all your biographical stories a lot. Well done👌👍✋
This was very well researched thank you. Hail to the Iron-cutter!
Thank you for this excellent series! I knew shamefully little about Tailleferre, and this splendid essay has helped address that. Bravo, sir.

Fantastic movie for a negleced composer!
This was an amazing series and greatly appreciated. I have a composer I don't see that you've done who might be interesting? Mauricio Kagel :)

I like rennnisance music and one of my favourite composers in that era is William Byrd. Please make a video on this composer.
