Review of Cecile Chaminade, Part 2
I'm a spanish dilettante from Madrid, Spain. My english is not very good, I 'm a little bit shy, so I'm a almost frightened to write this review. I have been studying several pieces by Chaminade for a year; listening these Compact Discoveries about the french female composer has been very encouraging to me. I would like to thank to Fred Flaxman these programs and to tell him that it would be wonderful to have one more. Don't you think that late XIX century salon pieces for piano are neglected today?
