With the music for piano, the melody is the first genre addressed by Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947): endowed with a light baritone voice, the young prodigy embarks on the conquest of the Parisian salons by singing the works of his favorite authors (Gounod, Massenet, Fauré), but also his own compositions, which captivate the audience. Finely chiseled, these melodies still retain a natural whose power of seduction remains intact, as evidenced by the success of the first two volumes.
The third collection will be for many a revelation since it brings together for the first time melodies published separately in various journals, to which are added the cycle Love without wings (1904, on melancholic poems by Mary Robinson) and the series of songs interpreted by Yvonne Printemps in the film La Dame aux Camélias (1934), which was at the time on everyone's lips.
