Better late than never: we are barely rediscovering the work of Louise Farrenc, one of the rare French composers of the 19th century  . His most celebrated chamber piece, this Sextet for piano and wind quintet , employed an unusual formation in 1854. It attracted praise from the critics of the time: "Nothing smells of research, fatigue, hesitation, in this beautiful painting with a touch that is both light and majestic. Eighty years later, Poulenc in turn ventures into the exercise, with an opus that will mark. Of a more modest ambition, L'Heure du bergerby Jean Françaix would have been composed to serve as background music for an eponymous restaurant. Hence no doubt the evocative titles of its three movements: “The old beauties”, “Pin-up girls”, “The nervous little ones”.

Mieux vaut tard que jamais : on redécouvre à peine l’œuvre de Louise Farrenc, l’une des rares compositrices françaises du xixe siècle. Sa pièce de chambre la plus célébrée, ce Sextuor pour piano et quintette à vent, emploie une formation inusitée en 1854. Elle s’attire les louanges de la critique de l’époque : « Rien ne sent la recherche, la fatigue, l’hésitation, dans ce beau tableau d’une touche à la fois légère et majestueuse. » Quatre-vingts ans plus tard, Poulenc s’aventure à son tour dans l’exercice, avec un opus qui fera date. D’une plus modeste ambition, L’Heure du berger de Jean Françaix aurait été composée pour servir de musique d’ambiance à un restaurant éponyme. D’où sans doute les titres évocateurs de ses trois mouvements : « Les vieux beaux », « Pin-up girls », « Les petits nerveux ».
