Obituaries reporting his death spoke of Thomé’s exceptional gifts as a composer of light stage music and salon pieces. Obituaries that singled out light stage music and salon pieces, though he also wrote ballet, a trio and a violin sonata, suggest that the lighter genres defined his public image. Francis Thomé was born in Port Louis, Mauritius, on 18 October 1850. A musically gifted child, he enrolled at the Paris Conservatory at sixteen, in 1866, where he studied composition under Jules Laurent Duprato and Ambroise Thomas, and piano under Antoine-François Marmontel. He graduated in 1870 and soon established a reputation as a composer of attractive salon music. Composition studies under Duprato and Thomas, alongside piano with Marmontel, suggest a training that prepared him to write and to perform in the same career. In 1886 his operetta Le Baron Fric was presented in Paris and achieved a measure of success, and he was by then already a veteran of ballet, with Les noces d’Arlequin (1885) having drawn positive notice. Thomé was largely supporting himself as a concert pianist and piano teacher during this time, and was highly successful in both roles throughout most of his career. Before the turn of the century, his incidental music for Romeo and Juliette (1890) was perhaps his most notable success. Divided between the stage, the piano and the classroom, his working life reads as a name earned in several rooms at once. He was also gaining notice for his songs and his chamber music, and his 1893 Trio for piano, violin and cello and his 1901 Violin Sonata were quite popular for a time. AllMusic says he experienced a fair level of success right up to the time of his death in 1909, and that his popularity lingered for several decades before his name and works faded. Simple aveu, Op. 25, a romance sans paroles for piano, was published in Paris around 1878. Simple aveu, appearing within a decade of his graduation, can be read as a work from the years when his salon-music reputation was taking shape.
