Chausson

Japanese: ショーソン

French composer. Born in Paris. After earning a doctorate in law, he entered the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 24, where he formally studied music for the first time. He studied under Massenet and C. Franck, who became his lifelong teacher. He was also deeply influenced by listening to R. Wagner's works in Munich from 1879 to 1880. He deepened his friendship with d'Indy and Duparc, who had gathered around Franck because of their admiration, while at the same time serving as secretary for the Société National de Musica, which was organized by Saint-Saëns, and devoted himself to the development of modern French music. He died at the early age of 44 in an accident, and the journey of a promising young man, along with Debussy and others, was cut short before he could achieve his goal. His representative works include Poem of Love and the Sea (1882-1890) for soloist and orchestra, Symphony in B-flat major (1889-1890), Concerto for Piano, Violin and String Quartet (1891), and Poem for violin and orchestra (1896), both of which were dedicated to Ysaé.

フランスの作曲家。パリに生まれる。法学の博士号をとったのち24歳でパリ音楽院に入学，初めて正式に音楽を学ぶ。マスネーとC.フランクに師事し，フランクは生涯の師となった。また1879年−1880年，ミュンヘンでR.ワーグナーの作品を聴き，強い影響を受けた。フランクを慕って集まったダンディ，デュパルクなどと交友を深める一方，サン・サーンスが組織した国民音楽協会の書記を引き受け，近代フランス音楽の発展に力を注いだ。不慮の事故により44歳で早世，ドビュッシーなどとともに将来を嘱望されたその道程は志半ばで絶たれた。代表作として，独唱と管弦楽のための《愛と海の詩》（1882年−1890年），《交響曲・変ロ長調》（1889年−1890年），ともにイザイエに献呈された《ピアノ，バイオリンと弦楽四重奏のための協奏曲》（1891年）とバイオリンと管弦楽のための《詩曲》（1896年）などが知られる。
