CECILE CHAMINADE , one of the first Frenchwomen to win an important place in the world of composition, is also a brilliant pianist. She was composing already at the age of eight and was only eighteen when she gave her first concert. Many of her songs and smaller pianoforte pieces enjoy a wide popularity, though her larger works, with the possible exception of one Ballet, have not been so successful. She has made many concert tours, not only in France, but in other countries, and for a good many years she was a regular visitor to England, giving recitals, chiefly of her own music. She first appeared here in 1892. Some months ago the B.B.C. had high hopes of inducing Madame Chaminado to come to London and broadcast a programme of her own music and songs, but difficulties of one kind and another were found to be insuperable, and listeners were unfortunately deprived of what would have been a very attractive broadcast.
GABRIEL FAURà , known to us as the composer of many beautiful songs and of chamber music which takes a high place in its class, was even more distinguished as a teacher. Himself a pupil of Saint-Saëns, he succeeded at the age of sixty to one of the most important posts, if not, indeed, the most important, in the music-teaching world, that of Director of the Paris Conservatoire. He held it for fifteen years, until 1920, resigning four years before his death. Many of the leading French composers of the younger school were taught there by him, among them Ravel, who is now regarded as the foremost French musician of his day.
