Salle Érard
The salle Érard is a music venue located in Paris, 13 rue du Mail in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris .
It is part of the hôtel particulier which belonged, from the 18th century, to the Érard [fr ] family of piano, harp and harpsichord manufacturers.
Small in size, but well isolated from the noises of the city, enjoying good acoustics, it is more particularly adapted to chamber music .[ 1]
During the 19th and the beginning of the 20th, it was the place of premières and debuts noted for both compositions and for interpreters, among which:
Érik Satie (orchestrations of his Gymnopédies by Claude Debussy ),
Jacques Ibert , les histoires (ten pieces for piano) (1923),

Before the construction of the Maison de la Radio (1963), the hall served as a recording studio for the Radiodiffusion française .
Nowadays, only the salon sees the organization of concerts, the volumes of the proper room having been reconverted (the volume of spaces is suggested by the organization of the roofs[ 4] as well as the old entrance facade at No. 11 rue Paul Lelong - Paris 02). Nevertheless, it remains prized for its acoustics and its past charged with both musical and artistic history.[ 5]
