Like many other musicians, Ernest Chausson began as a lawyer, but at the age of twenty-five he gave up law for
music. His first move was to enter Massenet's composition class at the Paris Conservatoire, and he also studied with Cesar Franck for three years. From Massenet he learnt to write with the utmost purity of texture and from César Pranck he derived his richness of harmonic colour and deep romantic feeling. These qualities are particularly discernible in his Poem for violin and orchestra, which was produced in 1896.
