Charles-Ferdinand Lenepveu (4 October 1840 – 16 August 1910), was a French composer and teacher. Destined for a career as a lawyer, he defied his family and followed a musical career. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire, and won France's top musical award, the Prix de Rome in 1867. Much of Lenepveu's career was as a professor at the Conservatoire from 1880. He was known as a strict conservative, hostile to musical innovation, as was much of the French musical Establishment of the time. Lenepveu was an outstanding student, and qualified to practise law in December 1862. During his time at the Sorbonne he had been taking lessons in music theory and harmony with Augustin Savard, professor at the Paris Conservatoire, and counterpoint and fugue with Charles-Alexis Chauvet, organist of Saint-Merri and Sainte-Trinité, Paris. In 1864, on Chauvet's recommendation, he was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied composition under Ambroise Thomas. In 1905, Lenepveu was at the centre of what became known as "l'affaire Ravel". Maurice Ravel, who was widely recognised as a composer of outstanding talent and promise, was eliminated from that year's Prix de Rome. When it emerged that Lenepveu, who was on the jury, had contrived to exclude all but his own pupils from the finals, there was a public outcry. He was denounced by the leading critic Pierre Lalo as "a poor musician, author of a few worthless compositions; without ideas or art; but he is a member of the Institut". Théodore Dubois, the director of the Conservatoire, had already announced his forthcoming retirement and brought it forward in the wake of the scandal. Lenepveu, as a member of France's musical Establishment, had been expected to succeed him, but seeking drastic reforms the French government appointed Fauré over Lenepveu's head. He died 5 years later. This piece was composed in 1870, 6 years after he began studying music.

Henriette Renié: Valse Melancolique (Willy Postma, harp) "Do you love the harp?" Henriette Renié asked all her new students this question. It was fundamental to her vocation. Renié already loved the harp by the age of five, but because she was so small, had to wait until she was eight (1883) to have her first harp lesson. Alphonse Hasselmans, the remarkable Belgian harpist, placed Renié's hands on a harp for the first time. It was certainly a prestigious instrument, but also one whose resources and repertoire at tht time were very limited. Hasselmans, who had recently been appointed professor of harp at the Paris Conservatory, introduced his sensational pupil, "the petite Renié", in the annual concours in 1887 when she was just 11. She won a brilliant first prize which opened a new era for the harp. Renié's father, an artist by profession, was also an accomplished actor and singer. He turned down numerous proposals for engagements which would have exploited his daughter, a true child prodigy. Instead, he made certain that she received a solid musical foundation, studying both with Charles Lenepveu and Theodore Dubois. Barely an adolescent, Renié led an extremely busy professional life, performing throughout Europe, teaching actively in Paris, and taking composition classes at the Conservatoire, for which she won prizes. Renié struggled all her life under the double handicap of being a woman and playing the harp. One well-know critic, Max Pincherle, regretted that a musician of her class had to express herself on such a minor instrument as the harp! Perhaps because of these feelings, Renié seemed to want to stretch the possibilities of the harp. She did both by her extraordinary virtuosity, and her daring compositions which, beyond their musical value, were full of risks and dangers in performance. Harpist Willy Postma was born in Amsterdam. After attending Schools in Rotterdam, Paris and New York, she came to Noway at an early age and has been affiliated with the Trondhein Symphony Orchestra since 1964. Prizewinner of the International Harp Competition in Israel in 1970 Postma has had an all-round career as soloist, chamber-music performer and teacher. Postma has recorded several CD albums and has been a frequent guest on television and radio programmes. In 1980 she started the Nordic countries' first harp class in Trondheim, a class she still conducts. Since 1991 she has been a teacher at the Norwegian State Academy of Music and since 1992 also at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. Information and photos were taken from the internet.
