Charles Neustedt Sullivan 1838 1908
The French composer Charles Neustedt +••.••(...)) seems to have written a few popular gavottes, tyroliennes and operatic fantasies, but I cannot find much information on his life. Probably born in Saumur, he was a sometime 'professor' at the Couvent des Oiseaux and College Rollin. The first of these institutions was a famous Parisian gaol of the French revolution, which was turned into a convent in 1824. The second was a private college in the Rue Lhomond. I guess he may have been what we would now call a peripatetic music teacher. He was obviously well regarded, as I have seen several works by other composers dedicated to him. In 1879, he took over the Flaxland piano manufacturing business for a few years. This piece - 'The Gondolier's Song' - comes from a set of Feuillets d'Album (album leaves). It is mildly Gounodian in style. Actually, set to words, it would not have been out of place in Gilbert & Sullivan's 'The Gondoliers' - especially the slightly syncopated middle section.

Probably born in Saumur, he was a sometime 'professor' at the Couvent des Oiseaux and College Rollin.

I guess he may have been what we would now call a peripatetic music teacher. He was obviously well regarded, as I have seen several works by other composers dedicated to him. In 1879 he took over the Flaxland piano manufacturing business for a few years. This attractive piece, from 1872, was dedicated to one of his pupils. The piece is headed by a charming quotation from the French poet François Coppée +••.••(...)): "Marquise, vous souvenez-vous Du menuet que nous dansâmes? Il était discret, noble et doux Comme l'accord de nos deux âmes." This translates as: "Marquise, do you remember We danced the minuet? It was quiet, noble and sweet Like the meeting of our two souls." There is a slight mystery here. The piece was published in 1872, but the poem was not published (in 'Le Cahier rouge') until 1873. Saint-Saëns made two vocal settings also before 1873, so I assume that the poem was published singly before the book, or appeared in a journal.

I can tell you nothing about the life of Paul Marcou, other than that he published a few piano pieces in Paris in the 1870s. What is certain is that he had a quite remarkable grasp of Russian folk idioms, and there are one or two pieces on Russian themes by him that stand comparison with Liszt's arrangements of Alabiev and Bulakhov in their vitality and sheer style. This superb impromptu - 'The Cossack' - was published in 1871, and dedicated to the composer's friend Alfred Flaxland (though not published by the Flaxland music publishing house). / / Played by Phillip Sear (http•••) (Email: •••@••• WhatsApp: (http•••) )
