Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire
While residing in London, England, between 1871 and 1872, Gounod started to write a suite for piano called "Suite burlesque". After completing this piece, Gounod abandoned the rest of the suite. The piece was dedicated to Madame Viguier, a pianist and the wife of Alfred Viguier, the first violin in the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire.
