Abel Decaux

Abel Decaux

Abel Decaux (1869-1943) was a French organist and composer. He studied organ with Charles Widor and Alexandre Guilmant and composition with Jules Massenet. Decaux left only one known composition "Clairs de lune". It is remarkably modern for its time and anticipated some of the work of Claude Debussy and Arnold Schoenberg.

"Clairs de lune" was recorded in 1996 by American pianist Frederic Chiu on a Harmonia Mundi disc with Ravel's "Miroirs"; and Schoenberg's "Drei Klavierstücke" and in 2006 by Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin on a Hyperion disc with Dukas' "Piano Sonata".
