Jules Delsart (24 November 18443 July 1900)〔MacGregor, "Jules Delsart", (Grove Music Online (Subscription Access) )〕 was a 19th-century French cellist and teacher. He is best known for his arrangement for cello and piano of César Franck's Violin Sonata in A major. Musicologist Lynda MacGregor described Delsart as "one of the foremost French cellists of the period, with faultless technique, a precise bow and a sweet, though not large, tone."〔 He was the owner of the 1689 'Archinto' Stradivari.〔 ==Life and career== Born in Valenciennes in 1844, Delsart began his studies at the Académie de Musique in his native city before transferring to the Conservatoire de Paris, where he earned a premiere prix in cello performance in 1866.〔Van der Straeten, pg 535〕 His principal teacher was Auguste Franchomme, whom he succeeded as professor of cello at the Conservatoire upon Franchomme's death in 1884.〔 He remained in that position for the rest of his life. His students included Paul Bazelaire,〔〔 Horace Britt,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Principal Cellos of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: 1905-1907 Horace Britt )〕 Marcel Casadesus,〔 Louis Feuillard, Louis Fournier,〔 Víctor Mirecki Larramat, Henri Mulet, and Georges Papin.〔 Following his graduation from the Paris Conservatoire, Delsart embarked on several successful tours throughout Europe. On 26 February 1881 he premiered in the Salle Pleyel the cello sonata of Marie Jaëll, with the composer playing the piano. In 1882 she dedicated her cello concerto to him. He made numerous appearances in London, including performing in the world premiere of David Popper's ''Requiem'' for three cellos and orchestra alongside the composer and Edward Howell as his fellow cellists at St James's Hall on 25 November 1891.〔〔 In 1892, at La Trompette, accompanied by Louis Breitner, he premiered ''Chant saphique'', Op. 91, a piece for cello and piano by Camille Saint-Saëns, which was dedicated to him. Other works dedicated to Delsart included David Popper's Nocturne, Léon Boëllmann's Cello Sonata, and Benjamin Godard's ''On the Lake''. Delsart was also active as a chamber musician. From 1875, along with the founder Martin Pierre Marsick, Louis van Waefelghem and Guillaume Rémy, he was the cellist of the Quatuor Marsick, one of the best and most famous string quartets in Paris of the time.〔Cobbett, page 435〕 With André Messager and Guillaume Rémy, he played in a piano trio which premiered Ernest Chausson's Trio in G minor, Op. 3, in 1882.〔Cobbett, page 266〕 He also played in a trio led by Pablo de Sarasate.〔Applebaum, page 283〕 In addition to the cello, Delsart occasionally performed on the viola da gamba, which he began studying in 1887.〔 His interest in this instrument led him to found the Société des Instruments Anciens (SIA)〔〔 with Louis Diémer (harpsichord), van Waefelghem (viola d'amore) and Grillet (vielle) in 1889.〔 The SIA performed successfully throughout Europe for a decade, although Delsart was only a member during its early years. He was succeeded in the Société by two of his pupils, Papin and Casadesus.〔 Delsart died in Paris in 1900, aged 55, and was buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery.〔 During his lifetime, his portrait was painted by Jean-André Rixens and Julien Decle; both paintings are in the Musée des Beaux Arts, Valenciennes.〔(Collections: Delsart pp. 1 ), (2 ) at Culture:fr, retrieved 26 February 2011 〕 There is a Rue Jules Delsart in Valenciennes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jules Delsart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
