TAFFANEL, CLAUDE-PAUL: Fantaisie on Mignon
Fantaisie on Mignon was written in 1866 and appeared in 1874 as Taffanel’s first published work. The composition was dedicated to his teacher, Louis Dorus, whom he studied with at the Paris Conservatoire. Many themes from Ambroise Thomas’ Mignon are used throughout the piece. After the brief cadenza-like section, the flute plays the beautiful aria ‘Connais-tu le pays?’ which is then followed by the orchestral Entr’acte which opens Act 2. The polonaise section features Philine’s aria ‘Je suis Titania’ and a series of brilliant variations ensues.

梅娘幻想曲(Fantaisie sur Mignon)
梅娘幻想曲(Fantaisie sur Mignon)是塔法奈耳在1866年完成,並且在1874年首次出版的作品。這部幻想曲是塔法奈耳特別寫給他在巴黎音樂學院的老師路易斯.都羅斯(Louis Dorus)的作品。在整首作品中,他採用很多昂布魯瓦.托馬斯(Ambroise Thomas)的“梅娘”歌劇(Mignon)作為主旋律。在一段類似華采段旋律之后,由長笛演奏出美麗的詠嘆調 “你知道這個地方嗎?”(Connais-tu le pays?),緊接其后的是管弦樂作為間奏曲帶出第二段梅娘歌劇中費琳娜(Philine)的詠嘆調“我是泰坦女神”以及一連串精湛的變奏曲。
