Tears of Jacqueline", inspired by a literary work of Arsène Houssaye, was composed in 1846 as the second of 3 pieces under the title «Les Harmonies des Bois» (Op.76). During this time Offenbach was traveling throughout Europe performing as a cello virtuoso. Often performing his own music, «Les Larmes de Jacqueline» was most likely composed for himself and his friend Friedrich von Flotow. The work gained further popularity by the celebrated cellist Jacqueline du Pré (1945-1987), who gave many wonderful performances of the piece. It’s plaintive tone is an elegy for a loved one who is gone.
