    Note the use of de with jouer:
    to play the piano
    = jouer du piano
    to play the clarinet
    = jouer de la clarinette
    but
    to learn the piano
    = apprendre le piano
    Players
    English -ist is often French -iste ; the gender reflects the sex of the player.
    a violinist
    = un or une violoniste
    a pianist
    = un or une pianiste
    A phrase with joueur/joueuse de X is usually safe.
    a piccolo player
    = un joueur or une joueuse de piccolo
    a horn player
    = un joueur or une joueuse de cor
    But note the French when these words are used with good and bad like this:
    he’s a good pianist
    = il joue bien du piano
    he’s not a good pianist
    = il ne joue pas bien du piano
    he’s a bad pianist
    = il joue mal du piano
    As in English, the name of the instrument is often used to refer to its player:
    she’s a first violin
    = elle est premier violon
    Music
    a piano piece
    = un morceau pour piano
    a piano arrangement
    = un arrangement pour piano
    a piano sonata
    = une sonate pour piano
    a concerto for piano and orchestra
    = un concerto pour piano et orchestre
    the piano part
    = la partie pour piano
    Use with another noun
    De is usually correct:
    to take piano lessons
    = prendre des leçons de piano
    a violin maker
    = un fabricant de violons
    a violin solo
    = un solo de violon
    a piano teacher
    = un professeur de piano
    but note the à here:
    a violin case
    = un étui à violon

  • 2 Usage note : the

    In French, determiners agree in gender and number with the noun they precede ; the is translated by le + masculine singular noun ( le chien), by la + feminine singular noun ( la chaise), by l’ + masculine or feminine singular noun beginning with a vowel or mute ‘h’ (l’auteur, l’homme, l’absence, l’histoire) and by les + plural noun (les hommes, les femmes).
    When the is used after a preposition in English, the two words (prep + the) are often translated by one word in French. If the preposition would normally be translated by de in French (of, about, from etc.) the prep + the is translated by du + masculine noun ( du chien), by de la + feminine noun ( de la femme), by de l’ + singular noun beginning with a vowel or mute ‘h ’ (de l’auteur, de l’histoire) and by des + plural noun (des hommes, des femmes). If the preposition would usually be translated by à (at, to etc.) the prep + the is translated according to the number and gender of the noun, by au ( au chien), à la ( à la femme), à l’ (à l’enfant), aux (aux hommes, aux femmes).
    Other than this, there are few problems in translating the into French.
    The following cases are, however, worth remembering as not following exactly the pattern of the English:
    the good, the poor etc.
    = les bons, les pauvres etc.
    Charles the First, Elizabeth the Second etc.
    = Charles Premier, Elizabeth Deux etc.
    she’s THE violinist of the century
    = c’est LA violoniste du siècle or c’est la plus grande violoniste du siècle
    the Tudors, the Batemans etc.
    = les Tudor, les Bateman etc.
