French composer. Born in Ambers, Puy-de-Dôme. He studied law and became a civil servant, but he quickly became adept at composing and piano, and with the success of the operetta "The Star" (premiered in 1877), he devoted himself to music from the age of 39. He further established his fame with the orchestral rhapsody "Spain" (premiered in 1883), which was based on his impressions from a trip to Spain in 1882. His masterpiece is the opera "Guandolin" (premiered in 1886), which was influenced by Wagner's music dramas. His piano pieces such as "Pictorial Pieces" (premiered in 1881) and "Les Bourrées Caprices" (1891) have lively rhythms, witty and delicate expressions, and clear and bold harmonies. For this reason, he surpassed his contemporary composers and is sometimes considered a pioneer of the music of Satie and Ravel. He died in Paris.

フランスの作曲家。ピュイ・ド・ドーム県のアンベールに生まれる。法律を学び役人となったが、早くから作曲、ピアノに習熟、オペレッタ『星』(1877初演)などの成功を機に39歳から音楽に専心した。さらに1882年のスペイン旅行の印象に基づく管弦楽の狂詩曲『スペイン』(1883初演)で名声を確立した。ワーグナーの楽劇の影響を受けたオペラ『グワンドリーヌ』(1886初演)は彼の代表作とされる。また『絵画風の小曲集』(1881初演)、『気まぐれなブーレ』(1891)などのピアノ曲は、生気あるリズム、機知と繊細な感覚にあふれた表現、鮮明で大胆な和声をもつ。そのため彼は同時代の作曲家を超え、サティやラベルの音楽の先駆者とされることもある。パリに没。 [美山良夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
