About Albéric Magnard:



"Magnard's musical style is typical of French composers contemporaneous to him, but occasionally, as in the symphonies, there are passages that foreshadow the music of Gustav Mahler. His occasional use of chorale earned him the nickname of "French Bruckner." Although Bruckner used cyclical forms long before d'Indy "trademarked" the concept to César Franck's name, Magnard's handling of cyclical form is more Franckian than Brucknerian. In his operas, Magnard used Richard Wagner's leitmotiv technique. Magnard did not write much chamber music, but his complete œuvre is not that large, the published pieces numbering slightly more than 20. The chamber works include a string quartet, a quintet for piano and winds, a piano trio, a violin sonata (in G, opus 13) and a cello sonata (in A, opus 20). A few more works of his were published posthumously, such as the Quatre Poèmes in Musique, four songs for baritone and piano."
