About

The Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865–1950) is best remembered for his development of Eurhythmics, which teaches the appreciation of music through movement. But Jaques-Dalcroze, who studied with Delibes and Fauré in Paris and with Bruckner and Fuchs in Vienna, was a considerable composer in his own right, with operas, cantatas and orchestral works among his substantial output. His 20 Caprices and Rhythmic Studies constitute an important but hitherto unknown set of character-studies, combining a relaxed lyricism with technical challenges of considerable subtlety for the player. This release is the second of a project of three – each performed by a different pianist – presenting an unsuspected side of Jaques-Dalcroze’s musical activity.

The pianist here is Paolo Munaò, Sicilian-born but now based in Florence. Although Jaques-Dalcroze’s 20 Caprices and Rhythmic Studies were published by Augener in London in 1920, the published score is full of errors. Paolo Munaò therefore consulted the manuscript score in the British Library, also in London, so that he could be sure that he was respecting the composer’s intentions.
