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.
