      About Charles-Valentin Alkan

      Charles-Valentin Alkan, born Charles-Valentin Morhange in Paris in 1813, was a French composer and virtuoso pianist whose name is synonymous with some of the most technically demanding piano works ever written. At the peak of his career in the 1830s and 1840s, Alkan stood alongside Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt as one of Paris's leading pianists. His compositions, known for their extraordinary difficulty and innovative piano technique, often explore themes and variations with a remarkable ability to evoke vivid imagery, from a menagerie of animals to intricate musical narratives. Despite his prowess, Alkan's later life took a reclusive turn, adding to his enigmatic legacy. His most celebrated work, "Le Festin d'Esope," showcases his unique musical language and remains a cornerstone of his repertoire, beloved by classical piano enthusiasts worldwide.
