Portraits et études; Lettres inédites de Georges Bizet by Imbert and Bizet
"Portraits et études; Lettres inédites de Georges Bizet" by Hugues Imbert is a collection of essays and letters concerning various composers, written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the lives and contributions of significant figures in classical music, including César Franck, C. M. Widor, Édouard Colonne, and Georges Bizet himself. It examines their artistic journeys, influences, and the impact they had on the music scene of their time, offeringinsight into their personalities and artistic philosophies. At the start of the work, the author paints a vivid portrait of César Franck, depicting him as a deeply introspective artist whose life was consumed by his love for music. Imbert contrasts Franck's character with that of Beethoven, highlighting the gentler and more benevolent nature of Franck, who had a profound admiration for older musical traditions, yet sought to innovate within them. The opening portion also discusses Franck's significant influence on his pupils and contemporaries, underscoring his role as a mentor while lightly touching on his lesser-known compositions. Through this examination, readers are introduced to a rich tapestry of historical context surrounding these composers, suggesting both their struggles and triumphs in the pursuit of musical excellence.
