Ce compositeur a apporté un peu de lumière, d'émerveillement et d'humour dans une période d'obscurité et de lassitude dans ma vie. En l'écoutant de nombreuses années plus tard, la sensibilité et l’admiration que je ressentais pour elle grandirent. Il vous entraîne inévitablement dans son univers. Chaque écoute révèle un peu plus son mystère, sa magie ; cette architecture sonore est impériale et tellement féérique !

6:52 note the DSCH motif used before when shostakovich was even born

Lovely sonatinas, from a composer I did not know a thing about (and that's my favourite musical period, so I'm almost embarrassed by my ignorance). It was so odd hearing the DSCH motif popping up in the various sonatinas! Years before Schostakovich. It's strange how coincidences like this happen.

So today, thanks to you, I have heard all five sonatinas by this composer. And I had not heard any works of this composer before I came across your uploads. Thank you.

This is wonderful! I'm actually doing a grad school paper on Emmanuel and his works, specifically the 1st and 4th of the Sonatines. Where did you get the info on the bells and such? I am finding it difficult to dig up a history on him (how unfortunate!), and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. What you have shared here is already more than I'd found anywhere else! Thanks so much!

The incomparable refinement of French music. What do you expect, pianists, to put the works of this magnificent composer to your programs? Thanks to Medtnaculus for sharing.
