Explora partituras de piano de André Gretry en Zen Virtual Piano. André Grétry was born at Liège, the son of a poor musician, and was a choirboy at the church of St. Denis. He became a pupil in 1753 of Jean-Pantaléon Leclerc, and later studied keyboard and composition with Nicolas Rennekin, organist at St-Pierre de Liège, and with Henri Moreau, music master at the collegiate church of St. Paul. But of greater importance, Wikipedia says, was the practical tuition he received by attending the performances of an Italian opera company. A choirboy for whom the opera house mattered most suggests a composer shaped by the theatre. His first great success was La vendemmiatrice, an Italian intermezzo or operetta composed for the Aliberti theatre in Rome and received with universal applause. By the intercession of Count Gustaf Philip Creutz, the Swedish ambassador, he obtained a libretto from Jean-François Marmontel, which he set to music in less than six weeks, and its performance in August 1768 met with unparalleled success. A libretto set in under six weeks, beside the applause that met an Italian intermezzo in Rome, can be read as a composer whose speed and early reception went together. Wikipedia names Richard Coeur-de-lion among Grétry’s masterpieces; the Comédie-Italienne gave its first performance, in three acts, at the first Salle Favart in Paris on 21 October 1784. Frances Anne Crewe called it a more beautiful and splendid opera than she had ever seen in England. A revised four-act version was unsuccessfully given at Fontainebleau on 25 October 1785, and later in Paris on 21 December. A comparison with the operas Frances Anne Crewe had seen in England, and a four-act version given at Fontainebleau a year after the Paris premiere, can be read as an opera that kept being measured and reworked. Britannica says Grétry’s music is noted for its finesse and melodic grace, and that he excelled in the development of dramatic scenes through melody and careful setting of words. He was widely honoured during his lifetime and received a pension from Napoleon in 1802, and in 1789 he published his Mémoires; ou, essais sur la musique. He took students in opera composition, including his daughter Lucile and Caroline Wuiet, and died at the Hermitage in Montmorency, formerly the house of Rousseau. A composer who wrote his own memoirs and taught his daughter suggests a musician who thought about his art as something to pass on.
