FRANCK CESAR: (1822-1890) Belgian-born French composer and pianist of the Romantic period. A.L., unsigned, to the recto and verso of his personal printed oblong 12mo Visiting Card, featuring his printed name ('Cesar Franck, Professeur au Conservatoire de Musique, Organiste de Ste. Clotilde') to the centre and address at Boulevard St. Michel (Paris) at the base, n.p., n.d. (c.1879), to Auguel (?), in French. Franck writes, in full, 'Je n'ai pas en le plaisir de vous voir aujourd'hui mais cela ne me donne aucune inquietude sur votre compte. Vous savez que nous repetons avec orchestre mardi et mercredi matin ou commencera par les Beatitudes ayez donc la bonte d'etre au trocadero a 9 heures' (Translation: 'I haven't had the pleasure of seeing you today, but that doesn't give me any cause for concern. You know that we are rehearsing again with an orchestra on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, starting with the Beatitudes, so please be at the Trocadero at 9 o'clock.'). VG
Franck became organist at the Basilica of St. Clotilde, Paris, in 1858 and retained the position for the rest of his life. He was appointed a professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1872.
Les Beatitudes (Op. 25) was written by Franck over a period of a decade from 1869-79 and is an oratorio scored for orchestra, choir and eight soloists. It is one of Franck's larger compositions, at almost two hours, and was first performed, in a reduced form, at a private performance in Franck's home in Paris on 20th February 1879.
