Ernest Chausson (1855 - 1899)
2/5. No 22 Boulevard de Courcelles
Donald Macleod considers the influence Ernest Chausson had within artistic circles in Paris. Following his marriage, Chausson moved into a substantial house in the eighth arondissement of Paris.
There he established what became a legendary salon. Visitors ranged from the poet Stephane Mallarme to Henri de Regnier, artists such as Paul Gauguin, musicians ranging from the Franckists to Debussy and Albeniz.
Through this and his position as Secretary of the Societe Nationale de Musique, Chausson was able to use his influence to promote their works, sometimes at the expense of performances of his own music.
