Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

La version hollywoodienne des studios Disney s’éloigne du roman italien d’origine : le petit garçon au cœur tendre du maître américain diffère radicalement du gamin insupportable imaginé par Collodi. C’est ce personnage a priori peu sympathique que le dramaturge Edouard Signolet a choisi pour sa version de Pinocchio, dans laquelle le pantin de bois, têtu, malpoli et ingrat doit vivre ses aventures pour évoluer et grandir. Le compositeur : Né en 1950, Laurent Petitgirard a étudié le piano avec Serge Petitgirard et la composition avec Alain Kremski. Musicien éclectique, sa carrière de compositeur de musique symphonique, d’opéras et de musique de chambre se double d'une importante activité de chef d'orchestre. Laurent Petitgirard a également composé de nombreuses musiques de films pour des metteurs en scène tels Otto Preminger, Jacques Demy, Francis Girod, Peter Kassovitz.

  • Discours Prononcé Par M. Laurent
    INSTITUT DE FRANCE ACADEMIE DES BEAUX-ARTS NOTICE SUR LA VIE ET LES TRAVAUX DE M. Marcel LANDOWSKY (1915-1999) par M. Laurent PETITGIRARD Lue à l’occasion de son installation comme membre de la Section de Composition musicale SEANCE DU MERCREDI 12 DECEMBRE 2001 Monsieur le Président, Messieurs les Secrétaires perpétuels, Chers confrères, Chers amis, Marcel Landowski aurait certainement apprécié que son successeur soit reçu par un grand sculpteur et je remercie de tout cœur Jean Cardot pour ses propos chaleureux. Dès son enfance, Marcel Landowski est impressionné par la puissance de travail de son père, Paul Landowski, qu'il décrit ainsi: "C’est dans son atelier, en le voyant travailler douze heures par jour aux grandes œuvres qu’il a sculptées et qu’il remettait vingt fois sur le chantier, que j’ai, du moins je l’espère, appris la valeur du travail et du vrai métier". Marcel Landowski aura le privilège d’y passer de longs moments, et l’on imagine sans peine l’influence qu’a pu avoir sur un jeune garçon à la sensibilité exacerbée la vision de la gigantesque tête de sept mètres de haut du Christ du Mont Corcovado que son père sculptait pour la baie de Rio de Janeiro. Sa mère, Amélie, femme d’une grande culture, lui donnera le goût d’un univers secret, très dense et nourri de réflexion intellectuelle. Deux autres femmes, Nadine, sa sœur aînée, peintre et sa grand-mère, allaient avoir sur lui une pondérante. C’est à Lamaguère, le domaine de son grand-père Jean Cruppi, ministre de la troisième République, situé devant la chaîne des Pyrénées, au bord de la Garonne, que sa grand-mère Louise va lui donner ses premiers cours de piano et de solfège.

  • Download Augustin Dumay Biography
    Augustin Dumay International critics have compared Augustin Dumay to the great violinists of the 20th century, describing him as a “great classical stylist”, a reputation underscored by his outstanding recordings for Deutsche Grammophon: Beethoven’s complete sonatas with Maria João Pires, a set that “surely ranks with Grumiaux/Haskil, Menuhin/Kempff, or Perlman/Ashkenazy” (International Piano), Brahms’ trios in which “the Milstein legacy in Dumay’s playing is wonderfully apparent” (Gramophone), and Mozart’s concertos with the Camerata Salzburg, “without exaggeration one of the finest Mozart violin concerto discs ever made” (Classic CD), in which he “confirms that he is an exceptional interpreter of Mozart as were Stern or Grumiaux before him” (Classica). Born into a family of musicians – his mother is a cellist and pianist, his father an amateur violinist – Augustin Dumay started violin lessons at the age of 5, after attending a concert by Nathan Milstein. Aged ten, he entered the Paris Conservatoire, winning the premier prix at the age of thirteen. His first concert at the Théâtre des Champs- Élysée followed a year later and he then appeared at the Montreux Festival, playing for Joseph Szigeti and Henryk Szeryng, who invited him to replace him on a tour of South America. On his return, Augustin Dumay worked in Paris with Nathan Milstein, who said of him: “I believe he will take his place amongt the great violinists of the year 2000”. He then went on to work in Brussels with Arthur Grumiaux for five years. He soon became familiar to concert audiences in France, but his international career took off thanks to his encounter with Herbert von Karajan.
