Abstract
In the final decades of the nineteenth century, the Poème for solo instrument and orchestra began to overshadow the traditional concerto, drawing criticism within the Francophone musical world. With his Poème élégiaque (1892), violinist Eugène Ysaÿe emerged as one of Belgium’s pioneers of the genre. A fundamentally programmatic form, the Poème aligned well with the Symbolist art movement that flourished at the turn of the century. But what of Ysaÿe’s own works? His Chant d’hiver (1901), Au rouet (1904-1919), and Harmonies du soir (1922-1924) reveal an ambiguous relationship between music and program while also offering insight into the musical essence of what the composer described as paintings without models.
