Samuel Rousseau was a French composer who lived from 1853 to 1904. He was a student of César Franck and was known for his works for the organ and piano. One of his most famous works is the "Lamento in A minor," which was composed in 1884. The "Lamento in A minor" is a solo piano piece that is divided into three movements. The first movement is marked "Lento," and it begins with a mournful melody in the right hand. The left hand provides a simple accompaniment, and the piece gradually builds in intensity. The middle section of the movement features a more complex melody in the left hand, while the right hand plays a series of arpeggios. The movement ends with a return to the original melody, played softly and mournfully. The second movement is marked "Andante," and it begins with a simple melody in the right hand. The left hand provides a more complex accompaniment, and the piece gradually builds in intensity. The middle section of the movement features a more complex melody in the left hand, while the right hand plays a series of arpeggios. The movement ends with a return to the original melody, played softly and mournfully. The third movement is marked "Lento," and it begins with a mournful melody in the right hand. The left hand provides a simple accompaniment, and the piece gradually builds in intensity. The middle section of the movement features a more complex melody in the left hand, while the right hand plays a series of arpeggios. The movement ends with a return to the original melody, played softly and mournfully. The "Lamento in A minor" is a beautiful and haunting piece of music that showcases Rousseau's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its mournful melodies, simple accompaniments, and gradual build in intensity. It premiered in 1884 and has since become a beloved piece of music for piano enthusiasts around the world.
