Émile Louis Fortuné Pessard (1843 - 1917) was a
Parisian composer and winner of the Prix de Rome in
1866. Likely he would wish to be remembered for his
operas and church music. However, he seems to live on
through this one piece, which remains popular in an
arrangement for flute and piano.
Although originally composed for Solo Piano, I created
this interpretation for String Quartet (2 Violins,
Viola & Cello).
