A prodigy, Germaine Tailleferre entered the Paris Conservatory at the age of 12, and won prizes in harmony and fugue. Her early compositions, influenced mainly by Fauré and Satie, won the admiration of Satie himself, who called her his “musical daughter.” The years leading up to World War II saw the greatest recognition of her work. Perhaps she would have achieved even more acclaim had it not been for the older attitudes toward women composers. This languid, triple-time Impromptu, reveals the inspiration of Fauré in its subtle, side-slipping harmony, with early Debussy, somewhere around the two Arabesques, showing up in the B section.
