Francis Thomé | Simple Aveu

Francis Thomé (1850 – 1909), was a French pianist and composer.

He was born in Port Louis, Mauritius, and studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Jules Duprato and Ambroise Thomas. After leaving the Conservatoire, he became well known as a composer of salon pieces and was in demand as a pianist and teacher. His music was particularly successful in the French provinces, and two of his operas were first performed outside Paris. He became popular towards the end of the 19th century as a composer of accompanied poems, but is also known for his stage works, which encompassed various genres, including ballet, pantomime, incidental music (for a wide range of plays), bluettes, and operettas, such as Le Baron Frick (1885), the latter collaboration with Ernest Guiraud, Georges Pfeiffer, and Victorin de Joncières.

Thank you for all this inspiration! I’m a student at an conservatory of music in France and I like to listen to your interpretation with my professor to find new pieces to play!
Keep things like this, I love the melancholy that you have when you play.

Thanks so much for playing! This piece was one of my mother’s favourite pieces to play on the violin.

I like the strong emphasis you give to the bass, and the wonderfully nostalgic harmonic change at 1:37 just before the climax. Bravo.
