French Impressions is our 2025 Fall concert primarily featuring pieces by French composers. The concert also includes an original composition by our cellist, Judith Glixon. Many of the pieces are in the shimmering French Impressionist style of Debussy, Ravel and Faure. We have included two audience favorites from the period  an arrangement of Debussys Clair de Lune for viola and piano, and of Faures Pavane for piano trio. Also on the program are an early French trio sonata by Boismortier and a contrasting string trio by Russian composer Sergey Taneyev&The piano at the West Falmouth Library was built in the late 19th century. Early pianos have a different sound than modern ones, so French Impressionist music performed on the instrument sounds like what the composers would have heard in their day.
