Who was Claude Debussy and why is his early life important for his music?
9h, 9h30. Le meilleur des grands dossiers de l'histoire, avec Franck Ferrand. Sur Radio Classique. In 1894, Pierre Louis, dont j'aurai l'occasion de vous reparler in the cours of this announcement, the grand Pierre Louis, fait une photo en gros plan de son ami Claude Debussy. On va l'appeler Claude Debussy, même si son vrai prénom était Achille Claude, mais he n'importe Achille. And the photo in question is un peu étrange, puisque on voit le front protubérant, vous savez. Specific of gross tent of Debussy. For those who have the ancient monnay en francs, it will be the billet of 20 francs with a visage a bit particularly of Debussy, and which the jean ne s'immaginal. Versus 20 ans, for cacher what he considered like a protuberance, he will ramen on his front his cheveux ondular.
That tomb, it's the mode of franges at the book, which has been lanced by one of his among the peintre Roche Gross, dont we party, but is a personage extraordinary. And plus tard, this coiffure will clairsom and an air encore plus insolite. The poet and critic literary Fernand Gregg in his memoir surnomming. community de Bussy the Christ hydrocephal at cause of that enormous enormous you have really to work with l'hydrocephaly it's not too malady it's simply the conformation of his teeth we're quite like that of the Bussy we'll debussy not a character facility Quand Pierre Louis lui a donné la photo qu'il avait faite de lui, comme il ne se plaisait pas du tout sur ce cliché, hein had aucun scrupule to froissing the document, sans other form de process.
It seems that it's some prof of conservatoire, Marmontel, who recommended his eleventh to Madame Wilson Pelouse, who is another connect the 8th arrondissement and the rue Pelouse saw of which I parle. It's an mécène des débuts of the Troisième Republic. On is later in 1879. And the time, he will proposed the service of Debussy to another grand messenger, but you know, because it's the bienfaitrice of Tchaïkovski, the Countess von Meck. She is known in 1831, said Madame Von Meck. She has 17 years an engineer of the initiative and ambition of his épouse. In 1872, she has 41 years, she has 11 people. She suddenly did a crisis cardiac on approaching the infidelity of his invented pas.
How did the mysterious portrait by Pierre Louis shape Debussy’s public image?
And the same day she went to passion for the music of Tchaikovsky. On is there in 1876. I think the compositor also played en tant que personne, en too till imagined, if he had known the very Tchaikovsky, some doubt in a few times had been more amoureuse. In casual until Tchaïkovski had been as beneficial. She was telling tormented by his homosexuality, offered not only a material manifest, but also a sort of security morality. This is also very satisfying for Nadejda, recluse, inquired, agitated, who passed sans of their somptual residence, and who a little couple of. And voilà notre petite jeune homme. He has 18 ans, Debussy. He said, Tchaïskovsky. He does demand a bit on the relation passionate, a relation exclusive, but often.
Bref, he found a little voyage. Madame Madame von Mek, to travel to the Europe with all the ribambelle of infants. And when I say the enfants, you can imagine what the grand dame of the epoch when she voyage, with the mal, the domestic, the preceptor. And Dubusy, who felt part of this nuage, of that court improvised and nomad. It's kind of in her person. In his fashion of a city parisien. He has the côté intello of the rive gauche. You know, he retrove a little propulsive in this family rush ultra cosmopolite. What's he will do, de Bussy? What's going to demand? It will prove that the sejour that he will have auprès de Madame von Meck.
The correspondence of Madame von Meck with Tchaikovsky permit, paradoxal, to support his déplacement and to compromise in what universe visit Debussy under 18 and 20 years.
What role did Nadejda von Meck play in Debussy’s career as a young teacher?
The very part of the Europe. The two years. In June 1980, he is at Interlaken in the canton of Bern in Swiss. He had a voyage at the time of the month with the family. He traversed the France to get Arcachon. It's this episode of great village.
