Caroline Boissier-Butini’s 6th concerto for piano and flûte obligée, which she herself entitled La Suisse, was inspired by folksongs; the sources do not allow us to date the concerto precisely, but we can assume that it was composed before 1818. A return to folk melodies was entirely in keeping with the times; Beethoven, for example, used such themes, as did Carl Maria von Weber, who was born in the same year as Boissier-Butini. Her innovation, however, is to quote the “ranz des vaches”, the musical themes that would have awakened in her contemporaries an archetypal sense of Switzerland.
The opening of the first movement (Allegro) is kept consciously simple. After a central section, with a virtuosic piano part and audacious modulations, the opening themes reappear at the end of the movement in a slightly varied form. The slow middle movement (Andantino), the second theme of which is a ”ranz des vaches”, such as the one made legendary by Rousseau is striking for its rich colours and rhythms, in particular the interactions between piano, flute and bass voices. A Presto draws the piece into the last movement (Rondo), where Caroline Boissier varies the theme six times in different instrumentation, and modulates the piano’s solo passages cleverly, prefiguring the spirit of late 19th-century salon music.
