Charles Dancla is one of the 19th century's most eminent protagonists of French chamber music. His life's work fused composition, education and performance with a fondness for a traditional 'pure harmonic setting' and a bonne entente des effets sonores to produce brilliant and attractive music for concert use which manages simultaneously to flatter the taste of his time and continue the musical tradition of the great masters. He organized chamber concerts with his brothers Arnaud-Philippe (cello) and Jean-Pierre-Léopold (violin), including performances of the string quartets of Beethoven (1837). In his own output, the 17 quartets hold a distinguished place, from op. 5 (1844) to op. 195 (1899). Add to this eight easy piano trios, filigree and deliberately classical in tone. He supplemented his didactic works (Méthode élémentaire et progressive de violin op. 52; École de la mélodie; L'Art de moduler sur le violon), by composing 60 violin duets, comprising the 'Duos faciles' and 'Duos très faciles', brilliant recital miniatures which remained in use until the 1930s as a welcome diversion during violin lessons. Dancla's present three Quatuors faciles op. 280, first published in 1897 by Schott, are noble examples of his mission to introduce musicains gently to quartet playing. Easy to play, they offer performers a classicist 'harvest' which serenely recalls the lost charms of the 'salon'.
