Air de Ballet, Op. 30 (Chaminade)
Movements
Notes
Cécile Chaminade’s Air de Ballet, Op. 30 is a charming, early-career piano work (often noted as “The Paris Waltz”) composed around 1880-1890, reflecting the elegant, melodic style of the French Belle Époque. It is characterized by its, lyrical, salon-style charm, often featuring a rapid “Mouvement de Valse” that is both technically accessible and musically expressive.
