Telling stories by music means was a challenge that was taken up at the beginning of nineteenth century, anxious to demonstrate that music can be a universal language, capable of conveying a message without the need for words or images. In the wake of Franz Lisztâs symphonic poems, the young organist Juliette Dillon (1823-1854) set about âtranslating for the pianoâ E. T. A. Hoffmannâs Fantastic Tales. Thirty years before Offenbachâs Tales of Hoffmann, she brought all her talents as an improviser into play to relate ten of the German poetâs best-known tales. We can only regret the early death of this talented musician, and wonder why her name has disappeared from the music dictionaries.
