The years between 1900 and 1925 in Paris were some of the most fruitful in the history of harp repertoire. Debussy s Danses sacree et profane and his Sonate pour flute, alto, et harpe, Caplet s Masque of the Red Death and his Two Divertissements, Gabriel Pierne s Concertstucke and Impromptu caprice, and Ravel s Introduction et Allegro were among the many important compositions written during this period. Many harpists would give pride of place in this list, however, to Gabriel Faure s Impromptu and Une chatelaine en sa tour. now published here in one volume for the first time. These are both essentials for every serious student of the harp.
