''Vaucochard et fils Ier'' is an unfinished opérette by Emmanuel Chabrier of which only some numbers survive. The French libretto was by Paul Verlaine.〔Delage R. ''Emmanuel Chabrier''. Paris, Fayard, 1999 (Catalogue des Oeuvres).〕 ==Background== In the early 1860s Chabrier was a close friend of Verlaine and dined at the Verlaine's house, rue Lecluze every Saturday from 1860-1863.〔Myers R. ''Emmanuel Chabrier and his circle''. J M Dent and Sons, London, 1973.〕 With Verlaine and Chabrier, the friends who met together there included Albert Mérat, Adolphe Racot, François Coppée, Louis-Xavier de Ricard and Édouard Lepelletier.〔Delage R. ''Chabrier, Iconographie musicale.'' Minkoff Lattès, 1982, p49.〕 Although Delage has dated Chabrier’s work on the score of ''Vaucochard et fils Ier'' to around 1864, Verlaine continued to mention work for the project for several years after. Only four complete numbers exist from this early comic piece where the cowardly but bawdy title role is a satire of Napoleon III. In this, one of the Chabrier's earliest works, Poulenc discerned elements of the composer's true style in the 'Chanson de l'homme armé',〔Poulenc F. ''Emmanuel Chabrier.'' La Palatine, Geneva & Paris, 1961.〕 while Delage notes two future favourite rhythms of the composer – the waltz in the duo for Aglaé and Médéric and the bourrée in the trio finale.〔 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「Vaucochard et fils Ier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
