Question: Jeux d’eau is a piece for solo piano by a composer born in what year?
Context: Fanny Mendelssohn (14 November 1805 – 14 May 1847), later Fanny [Cäcilie] Mendelssohn Bartholdy and, after her marriage, Fanny Hensel, was a German pianist and composer.  She composed over 460 pieces of music.  Her compositions include a piano trio and several books of solo piano pieces and songs.  A number of her songs were originally published under her brother, Felix Mendelssohn's, name in his opus 8 and 9 collections.  Her piano works are often in the manner of songs, and many carry the name "Lied ohne Worte" ("Song without Words").  She also wrote, amongst other works for the piano, a cycle of pieces depicting the months of the year, "Das Jahr" ("The Year").  The music was written on coloured sheets of paper, and illustrated by her husband Wilhelm Hensel.  Each piece was also accompanied by a short poem. The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.  43, (Russian: Рапсодия на тему Паганини , "Rapsodiya na temu Paganini") is a concertante work written by Sergei Rachmaninoff.  It is written for solo piano and symphony orchestra, closely resembling a piano concerto.  The work was written at his Villa, the Villa Senar, in Switzerland, according to the score, from July 3 to August 18, 1934.  Rachmaninoff himself, a noted interpreter of his own works, played the solo piano part at the piece's premiere at the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1934 with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski.  Rachmaninoff, Stokowski, and the Philadelphia Orchestra made the first recording, on December 24, 1934, at RCA Victor's Trinity Church Studio in Camden, New Jersey. Kreisleriana, Op.  16, is a composition in eight movements by Robert Schumann for solo piano, subtitled "Phantasien für das Pianoforte ."  It was written in only four days in April 1838 and a revised version appeared in 1850.  The work was dedicated to Frédéric Chopin, but when a copy was sent to the Polish composer, "he commented favorably only on the design of the title page".  "Kreisleriana" is a very dramatic work and is considered to be one of Schumann's finest compositions.  In 1839, soon after publishing it, Schumann called it in a letter "my favourite work," remarking that "The title conveys nothing to any but Germans.  Kreisler is one of E. T. A. Hoffmann's creations, an eccentric, wild, and witty conductor."  In 1843, when he had moved from writing for solo piano to much larger works, in particular "Paradise and the Peri", he still listed it as one of his best piano works Distant Memories is the third piece from Alexina Louie's "Music for Piano".  It was commissioned by the Alliance for Canadian New Music Projects in 1982.  This piece features the changing meters and "senza misura", meaning "without measure".  The other pieces in this songbook is "Changes", "The Enchanted Bells", and "Once Upon a Time".  The four short solo piano pieces explore contemporary musical concepts and techniques while remaining accessible to younger students.  As this was her first set of compositions for solo piano, it is fitting that Louie dedicated the pieces to her former childhood piano teacher and mentor Jean Lyons. Joseph Maurice Ravel (] ; 7 March 1875 – 28 December 1937) was a French composer, pianist and conductor.  He is often associated with impressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term.  In the 1920s and 1930s Ravel was internationally regarded as France's greatest living composer. A piano piece or piece for piano (German: "Klavierstück" , ] ; French: "morceau [or] pièce pour (le) piano" , ] ) is a piece of music for piano.  It is a generic name for any composition for the instrument, but when capitalised (Piano Piece, Piece for Piano) the name is used to indicate a (usually) single-movement composition for solo piano that has not been given a more specific name (such as Sonatina, "Allegro de concert" or "Le Bananier"), for example: Jeux d’eau (] ) is a piece for solo piano by Maurice Ravel.  The title is often translated as "Fountains", "Playing water" or literally "Water Games" (see "Jeux d'eau", water features in gardens).  At the time of writing "Jeux d'eau", Ravel was a student of Gabriel Fauré, to whom the piece is dedicated.  Pianist Ricardo Viñes was the first to publicly perform the work in 1902, although it had been privately performed for Les Apaches previously. Fantasia contrappuntistica is a solo piano piece composed by Ferruccio Busoni in 1910.  Busoni created a number of versions of the work, including several for solo piano and one for two pianos.  It has been arranged for organ and for orchestra since the composer's death. Starr Parodi (born in Los Angeles, California) is an American composer, pianist, conductor, arranger, and music director.  She has won multiple BMI most performed music awards, Key Art and Telly Awards.  In May 2017 Starr's most recent album "The Heart Of Frida" a cinematic collection of solo piano works inspired by the late legendary artist Frida Kahlo, was awarded ZMR's "Piano Album Of The Year - Solo" by International Radio Broadcasters.  Starr's solo piano recording "Common Places" was awarded Solo Piano Recording of the Year by solopianoradio.com in 2007 and in 2005 she received an RIAA Gold Record for her recording and updated arrangement of the "James Bond Theme". Concerto for Solo Piano (French: "Concerto pour piano seul" ) is a 3-movement solo piano piece written by Charles-Valentin Alkan.  The pieces are part of a 12 piece cycle entitled "Douze études dans tous les tons mineurs" (12 Studies in the Minor Keys), published in 1857 (although it may have been written some years earlier).  With sections marked "Tutti", "Solo" and "Piano", the piece requires the soloist to present the voices of both the orchestra and the soloist.  The pianist Jack Gibbons comments: "The style and form of the music take on a monumental quality—rich, thickly set textures and harmonies ... conjure up the sound world of a whole orchestra and tax the performer, both physically and mentally, to the limit."
