It is one of the greatest pieces of work composed by Hahn in terms of harmony and, written at the end of his Piano writing period; it is a good transition toward his second period that is more focused on comedies and operas. These twelve waltzes are: 1. Décrets indolents du hazard 2. Les soirs d?Albi 3. Souvenir? Avenir? 4. Dans de l?amour et du chagrin 5. Le demi-sommeil embaumé 6. L?anneau perdu 7.

“Mélodiste né, Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) était doté d?une voix claire et émouvante qui faisait merveille dans les salons parisiens, comme le rappelle Proust : « (...) la tête légèrement renversée en arrière, la bouche mélancolique, un peu dédaigneuse, laissant s?échapper le flot rythmé de la voix la plus belle, la plus triste et la plus chaude qui ne fut jamais, cet â€â€œinstrument de musique de génieâ€â€œ qui s'appelle Reynaldo Hahn étreint tous les c?urs, mouille tous les yeux, dans le frisson d?admiration qu?il propage au loin et qui nous fait trembler, nous courbe tous l?un après l?autre, dans une silencieuse et solennelle ondulation des blés sous le vent ». Paru chez Heugel le 26 janvier 1896, ce premier volume des Mélodies, qui connut un immense succès, réunit vingt mélodies composées par Reynaldo Hahn et éditées en séparé entre 1891 et 1895 : Rêverie - Si mes Vers avaient des Ailes ! - Mai - Paysage - L'Énamourée - Seule - La Nuit - Offrande - Trois jours de Vendange - Infidélité - Fêtes galantes - Cimetière de campagne - Fleur fanée - L?Incrédule - Les Cygnes - D'une prison - Dernier v?u - Séraphine - Nocturne - À Phidylé.â€.

'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands, preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions, the eclecticism of good taste, charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Faure's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mere lOye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day, the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve, or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole, Selfiana. The Variations pueriles sur une melodie de Carl Reinecke manifest a free, whimsical vein, whereas the Trois preludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music, borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from ahandwritten score, the Variations sur un theme de Charles Levade end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Piece en forme daria et Bergerie from 1896, finely polished, takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale, popular in the 17th century.

The unacquainted listener, upon hearing a piece from the Hahn piano repertoire, is often surprised by its powerful charm - a testament to the composer's unique musical sensibility. Although some of Hahn's musical ideas have roots in the long tradition of Romanticism, they also present a host of new images, scarcely seen in earlier scores. Each piece in this collection is based on a single formula that varies little from start to finish. An exception to this unique principle occurs in the second piece, where the young woman takes fright at the flaming red eye of the setting sun watching her through the branches. As a conclusion, Reynaldo Hahn offers a very free cadence that takes up and comments on the initial theme: the crackling notes culminate in a fortissimo blaze, rapidly followed by a progressive lull that slowly fades away.
