Presentation
Like that of other pianists of her generation, the name of Jeanne-Marie Darré has largely been forgotten. It was doubtless sometimes mocked by a few malicious tongues in search of sarcasm who saw her as the quintessence of a ‘certain French piano school’, outdated and dying – the appearance of the Russian school having, amongst other factors, hastened its decline. Marguerite Long, who was one of Jeanne-Marie Darré’s two principal teachers, would be in the front line of these attacks. Her pianism and teaching were reviled on the grounds of a technique that some deemed too exclusively digital, responsible for corporal stiffness and ‘typewriter playing’, overly mechanical and ill-adapted for legato. However, although Jeanne-Marie Darré was nurtured at this ‘school’, she managed not only to transcend its ‘limits’, but even more will have made its final splendour glow with rare incandescence.
