Jaëll Marie. Les Chasserus

Marie Jaëll Association Internationale (no date). — 1 p.Marie Jaëll (1846–1925) was a French pianist, composer, and pedagogue, recognized for her expressive and imaginative piano works. A student of Franz Liszt, she explored the relationship between touch, sound, and musical emotion, creating pieces that balance technical development with artistic expression. Her music offers young pianists a valuable introduction to Romantic-style piano playing."Les Chasseurs" (The Hunters) is a lively and playful elementary-level piece, marked "Gaiement" (cheerfully, joyfully). It captures the spirit of a spirited hunt, with rhythmic energy, bold dynamic contrasts, and a galloping motion that bring the scene to life. This piece is especially useful for working on double notes (sixths), helping students develop coordination and finger strength while maintaining a light and buoyant touch. With its cheerful character and engaging movement, "Les Chasseurs" is both a technical study and a delightful storytelling piece, perfect for young pianists.
