Grandjany, Marcel, Divertissement, Op. 29
An enchanting work for intermediate-advanced pedal harp by harpist, composer and teacher Marcel Grandjany. This work opens with an energetic canon and then transitions into a fugue written around a theme whose notes spell the name "Anna Clark" (this work is dedicated to Madame W.A. Clark). The final movement of this work is quite energetic and provides plenty of opportunity for developing and practicing good technique. The dedicatee of this work, Ms. Anna Clark was the mother of the infamous recluse and heiress Huguette Clark. Ms. Clark was a patron of Marcel Grandjany during the 1950's. A professor of harp at the Julliard school, Grandjany, would be be driven to the Clark's palatial 5th Avenue apartment to give lessons. His unpublished manuscripts reveal evidence of several works dedicated to both Anna and Huguette Clark.
