The “Compozitor Publishing House • StPetersburg” calls your attention to the piece “Villanelle” by Paul Dukas. It was initially composed for the French-horn and piano till the eminent horn-player Vitaliy Mikhailovich Buyanovsky made its piano part’s orchestration. 

Paul Dukas (1865–1935) — the great French composer, music critic and teacher graduated from the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied at G. Mathias (piano) and E. Guiraud (composition). Dukas early opuses managed to captivate the leading French symphony orchestras. N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov appreciated the brilliant orchestration of the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” (1897) by Paul Dukas. It was in the 1890ies, when the French composer was undergoing the influence of K. Wagner and C. Frank.

The 1920ies are marked by his passion to the old French music. Simultaneously that period gave birth to phsychological effusions, anointed with exquisite phonations.

Paul Dukas’ occupation as a critic was also very fruitful. 330 articles were written by him. The spheres his mind embraced concerned such sciences as philosophy, history, literature etc. His literary works are imbued with the spirit of humaneness, peculiar for his attitude to traditions and innovation. Dukas was one of the first to have estimated M. P. Musorgsky’s music.

As to the composer’s pedagogical activity, Dukas practised from 1909 as the Parisian Conservatoire professor. Among his disciples were Alb?niz, Milhaud, Messian. 

Dukas tried various genres — opera, ballet, symphony. However, the “Villanelle” for French horn and piano attaches to chamber instrumental music sphere. It appeared in 1906. 

Vitaliy Mikhailovich Buyanovsky described Dukas’ Vilanelle as the genre scene, i. e. the horn-player, entertaining country inhabitants. Hence some folk intonations and huntsman’s horn, resounding from afar, mingled with recitations. It was in 1966, when V. Buyanovsky instrumentated the piece’s piano part.

The symphonic timbre adds a zest to the whole facture, nourishing the solo French-horn’s phonation. The other instruments seem now to interlace with the French-horn itself, now to be its echo.
