Orchestral works such as the Symphony in B flat major by Ernest Chausson, which was completed in 1900, or many of the ‘Mélodies’ for voice and orchestra by the same composer are remarkable works characterised by emotional depth and a particular harmonic sophistication. What makes it special is the successful combination of Romantic and Impressionist elements, which were prevalent on the music scene at the time of its composition.

Orchesterwerke wie die Sinfonie in B-Dur von Ernest Chausson, die 1900 vollendet wurde, oder auch viele “Mélodies” für Singstimme und Orchester des gleichen Komponisten sind bemerkenswerte Werke, die sich durch emotionale Tiefe und eine besondere harmonische Raffinesse auszeichnen. Was sie besonders macht, ist die gelungene Verbindung von romantischen und impressionistischen Elementen, die zur Zeit ihrer Entstehung in der Musikszene vorherrschend waren.
