Italian/English. The libretto by Francesco Maria Piave to Verdi's opera La Traviata is based on the play La Dame Aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas the Younger. This play was a stage version of a novel by Dumas published in 1848 andbased on the life story of a young courtesan named Alphonsine plessis known more euphoniously as Marie Duplessis who died of consumption in 1847 at the age of 23. Verdi is said to have seen the play at the Theatre desVaudevilles in Paris shortly after its premiere in 1852 and to have been deeply stirred by it. He had already signed a contract to provide a new opera for the Teatro Fenice in Venice and it was there on March 6th 1853 that La Traviata its text based on the Dumas tragi-comedy was first given.

Who doesn’t know Mozart’s “Sonata facile” of 1788? Yet those who practice this extremely popular piano sonata in C major will realize that it is by no means so “easy” to play. Its nickname does not come from Mozart but from the title page of the first edition which was printed only posthumously. No cause for premature celebration however: in his own autograph catalogue of works Mozart himself identified it as “a little piano sonata for beginners.”

Following his early elimination from the “Prix de Rome” the sought-after award for composition students at the Paris Conservatoire Chausson withdrew to the country in summer 1881 and began composing this ambitious work – out of defiance so tospeak.

Even though Fivefold is composed using single tempo the variety in textures and moods makes this particularly appealing. Dur: 4:00
