Article originally gave birth year as 1861. Grove says 1857 and I decided to go with the Grove. Dmetric 19:04, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * All the CDs I have list 1857 as well. Probably just a transcribing error or misprint. Melodia Chaconne 19:40, 9 July 2005 (UTC)


 * no, it's not just an error. back in those days (and even today), a lot of women lied about their age. there are several other women composers who have a birthday discrepancy of several years. Beth 17:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Chaminade, Concertino for flute
The story about the Concertino being written for a male flautist whom Chaminade was in love with seems to me to be improbable. It is a documented fact that this piece was the 1902 Concours piece at the Paris Conservatoire, and these pieces were generally commissioned. I have emailed the Paris Conservatoire to see if anyone there can research into the commissioning records from more than 100 years ago, and will forward whatever information they give me, if any. They would be the primary source here.

The only way both stories can be true is if Chaminade used an old piece to fulfill the commission from the Conservatoire. This also seems unlikely, since she wrote nothing else for the flute, and it would be quite a coincidence to get a commission for an instrumental piece for which you just happen to have something lying around.

No date
 * Contrary to some cemetery indexing websites, Chaminade's tombstone in Paris does not list a date, only a year.
 * Find A Grave claims that Chaminade has a tombstone at Cimetière de Monaco, but offers no evidence that a stone remains; she was reinterred, according to one source.
