Christmas 1946 in Chester,

The 1ere Valse composed by Auguste Durand was one of the first, if not the first, to be printed after the 2nd World War by A.Mounot, Paris..The music was flown over by Allied planes to our secret aerodrome just outside Chester where the Avro- Lancasters where based along with the Polish Airforce who flew Spitfires. The music was printed on inexpensive paper in A3 size and then sold in Hilda Catherall's music shop in St. Werburg's Street in October 1946; much of the money went into The Reconstruction and Development Plan for France. In 1946 it was sold for two shillings and six pence and the average wage was £5 per week and a shop assistant earned ten shillings and six pence and we had food rationing and coupons to make a purchase of food items. All the copies in the bundle 1m x!m sold out over the Christmas period of 1946.

Music

Best known piece is his Waltz No 1 opus 83.

Life

For the first part of his adult life, Durand occupied himself with composition and music criticism. In 1870 he entered into a partnership with Schönework, and acquired Flaxland’s music publishing business. This publishing company later became "Durand & Cie," which has specialized in the publication of music from French composers such as Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Ravel, Franck, Joncières, Lolo, and others.
