Complete Works for Piano Duet & Duo 4 on CD

Florent Schmitt was one of the most important of all French composers, an individualist who defies the simplicities of classification. The last of this four-disc series explores Schmitt's Humoresques, Op. 43, a cycle full of unexpected and witty twists, as well as the visionary Lied et scherzo, Op. 54. His gift for characterization is always evident, not least in Trois pieces recreates, Op. 37 which is strongly spiced with humor.
