Jaëll Marie. Aprés la valse

Marie Jaëll Association Internationale (no date). — 1 p.Marie Jaëll (1846–1925) was a French pianist, composer, and pedagogue, admired for her expressive compositions and innovative piano technique. A student of Franz Liszt, she dedicated her career to both performance and the study of touch and sound perception in piano playing. Her works often blend lyricism, delicate textures, and rich harmonies, making them both engaging and artistically rewarding."Après la Valse" is a gentle and lyrical piano piece, capturing the dreamy, reflective mood that lingers after a waltz has ended. With flowing melodies, simple harmonies, and an expressive character, it offers young pianists the opportunity to develop musical phrasing and sensitivity without technical difficulty. As an elementary-level piece, it is accessible yet deeply poetic—perfect for introducing students to the elegance of Romantic-style piano music.
