Germaine Tailleferre first met Charlie Chaplin when she was living in New York City with her first husband Ralph Barton. Tailleferre and Chaplin spent a great deal of time improvising at the piano and Tailleferre convinced him to write his own themes for the music he used in his films. After her divorce from Ralph Barton, she did not see Chaplin until the early 1950s during a visit he made to Paris. At that time, she wrote this attractive waltz in Chaplin’s own style to give to him as a gift.

In 1959, Germaine Tailleferre wrote incidental music for a radio drama based on Philippe Jullian’s « Mémoire d’une bergère » or « Autobiography of an armchair » which traced the owners of this armchair from the court of Louis XV to England after the French Revolution, back to Paris and through the hands of various foreign owners (Arabian, American, German etc.). In illustrating this story Tailleferre used her great knowledge of musical styles to evoke these different settings, from the classical styles of French music of the XVIIIth century to classical, romantic, popular French styles as well as two evocations of American Blues/Ragtime music. These short pieces are interesting in and of themselves, in addition to illustrating Jullian’s story. The first piece may be repeated at the end, as it was in the original radio drama.

During the middle of the 1950s, Tailleferre explored more popular musical styles in a series of works, including her Opéra-minute Un Rouille à l’arsenic », a number of songs written with Claude Marcy and her musical comedy « Parfums ». This slow is from that period and is very influenced by a Jazz piano style, perhaps by her friend Jean Wiener.

This short piece, which was probably part of a film score from the late 1930s, evokes an elegant « petite femme de Paris » walking her dog on the Grandes Boulevards to the sound of the player pianos coming out of the cafés.

These four short pieces are from various sources. The incomplete Exercise d’harmonie is the only Conservatory exercise that Tailleferre kept and clearly shows the influence of Wagner at the time of her studies. The Marche funèbre (comique) was probably from a film score in the late 1930s, « Chats » was part of a documentary film score about animals vers 1950 and Course à l’échalotte was also probably from a film score, evoking children’s games.
