Charles Lefebvre
Ballade for Flute, Cello or Bassoon and Piano
Charles Lefebvre’s Ballade for Flute, Cello and Piano dates from 1908. In one movement, it is a lovely, calm and reflective work, with lyrical long-lined melodies.
Charles Lefebvre (1843-1917) was born in Paris. After initially studying law, he entered the Paris Conservatory where he studied with Ambroise Thomas and Charles Gounod. While there, he won the prestigious Prix de Rome, the stipendium to which allowed him to live in Italy for several years. He composed in virtually every genre and chamber music comprises a sizeable portion of his output and was held in high regard as witnessed by the fact that the Academie des Beaux Arts awarded him their Prix Chartier for chamber music excellence on two occasions in 1884 and 1895. He served for several years as Professor of Ensemble Performance at the Conservatory.
