Clémence de Grandval - Deux Pièces pour clarinette avec accompagnement de piano

Clémence de Grandval (1828-1907) was a prolific composer in her lifetime and published a multitude of compositions under a number of pseudonyms. She studied composition with Frédéric Chopin and Camille Saint-Saëns, and was a major figure in the Société Nationale de Musique, where her works received more performances than any other composer of the time. Despite often being a favourite of critics, her legacy failed to endure after her death in 1907.
