Florent Schmitt was born in Lorraine within a few paces of the former frontier, which may seem to account for the Teutonic breadth of conception which combines with a typically exquisite French finish which characterises all his work. Born in 1870, he gained a Prix de Rome in 1900, and spent it in various parts of Europe, thereby adding to his other qualities a sense of cosmopolitanism. But with all this his music is not known in England with the familiarity that his great reputation in France would appear to warrant.
