It was at this time that I wrote Conte d’Avril, [op. 64]. At first, I composed three pieces of incidental music played backstage. Later, the management of the Odéon and Auguste Dorchain asked me to write a full score for orchestra. There had been hardly more than two serenades played from the wings, in accordance with the text. Conte d’Avril in the form of orchestral music was very well received, and it has been performed often since. Dorchain's play, whose scenario is borrowed from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, is now on radio programs.
Concurrently, I composed a whole series of small piano preludes, art songs, and vocal pieces, which were published as they were produced.
