Description
People who take the chance to listen to the music here recorded cannot miss the fundamental pleasantness, the good style, the language aptitude, the technical instrumental relevancy, the high structural equilibrium so to have the desire to know something about Jules Demersseman, the composer. On the other hand, it is very hard to find some news about him inside musical dictionaries or inside specialized historiographical treatises. Why? The few news taken from some notes from his published compositions inform that Jules Demersseman was born on the 9th of January 1833, at Hondschoote, in the Northern France; he showed excellent musical endowments very soon, since at only eleven years he was accepted inside Paris Conservatoire, the main institution for French musicians’ training. It was at that time in fact that this Conservatoire was fifty years old, and it contributed to shape a crowd of full artists because the teaching here followed was not only aimed at making good players but also at creating full musicians which means composers and performers at the same time. That’s what happened to Jules who could follow Jean-Louis Tulou, one of the most important flutists and virtuoso of his time.
