Although Cécile Chaminade was a globally celebrated composer and pianist during her lifetime, receiving numerous significant accolades and enjoying a large international following, her musical legacy has largely faded into obscurity in our time.

Piano Works Vol. 1 aims to remedy this, making these original and artistically significant compositions accessible once again, and, with a few exceptions, for the first time since their initial publication in a modern edition. This carefully curated selection of twelve pieces not only guarantees a varied and inspiring playing experience for home music-making but is also suitable for the concert hall, while simultaneously offering an impressive insight into Chaminade's unmistakable and diverse musical language. This edition is aimed at pianists of easy to intermediate skill levels and is intended as a significant impulse for the rediscovery of an extraordinary composer who has unjustly fallen into oblivion. It includes an informative foreword about the composer and her works.
