Whereas numerous French composers of the time tried to breathe new life into the larger forms of instrumental music, Chabrier concentrated on the smaller dance and character forms. The "Bourree fantasque" was composed in 1891 and was the culmination of his piano works. The strictly regulated, lively court dance of the time is enriched by unusual harmonies and rhythms and therefore appears in a completely new light. This edition of the "Bourree fantasque" (that is "whimsical bourree") is the first critical edition to consult all of the sources. The work is particularly characteristic of Chabrier's style that oscillates between nostaglia, avantgarde and parody.
