Paul Le Flem
Violin Sonata in g minor
Paul Le Flem's Violin Sonata in g minor was completed in 1905. The first movement, Modérément animé, has a Celtic atmosphere to it. The middle movement, Lent, is a five part, meditative lyrical song. The finale, Très vif, relies on Celtic folkloric themes.
Paul Le Flem (1881-1984) was born in in the French town of Radon. He studied at the Schola Cantorum in Paris under Vincent d'Indy and Albert Roussel, later teaching there where his pupils included Erik Satie and André Jolivet. His name is interesting in that it means one from Flanders or northern France and not Brittany of which he was a native. His music is in fact strongly influenced by Brittany, the landscape of which is said to be reflected in most of his work.
