Note: Daughter of pianist-composer Louise Farrenc, Victorine Farrenc was an exceptional composer and pianist in her own right. Sadly, she was plagued by ill health much of her life, and she died at the age of 33. This chanson, “The Daisy,” is light and fresh, ideal fare for dinners, quiet receptions, and even casual chamber music concerts.
