A website and blog that celebrates the highly individualistic music of the fascinating French composer Florent Schmitt (1870-1958) — as well as the scholars and musicians who study and perform his works.
The manuscript for Pécorée de Calabre, a short unpublished piano piece penned in 1937 by Florent Schmitt for a then very-young Jean-Michel Damase (1928-2013). These and several other original piano scores created by other French composers for Damase were among the documents found after the younger composer’s death.
