DESCRIPTION:
John Landkamer said Great music, but missing one of Fauré's best. Of course pianists should have this wonderful book, just don't assume it's complete. Fauré actually wrote a thirteenth Nocturne (in B minor) and a thirteenth Barcarolle (in C major), neither of which is included here. Both of these are characteristic late Fauré, but the Nocturne #1Great music, but missing one of Fauré's best Of course pianists should have this wonderful book, just don't assume it's complete. Fauré actually wrote a thirteenth Nocturne (in B minor) and a thirteenth Barcarolle (in C major), neither of which is included here. Both of these are characteristic late Fauré, but the Nocturne #13 is particularly not to be missed. I was just playing it over tonight and was amazed by the dark drama of the music.

A clean neat photocopy of original engravings printed on an 9.5" x 12.25" ivory paper. I wish the paper were a little heavier, like in Henle Editions, but you are not paying Henle's prices either! The lie flat binding seems very good, time will tell, and my other Dover editions, no matter their other shortcomings, hold up remarkably well.The music is astonishing. Faure's compositional style is not static and these pieces cover the development of his style from lush n. D. Hall said Never boring. Very interesting compositions by Faure. Enough piano music to learn til the end of your days. Never boring. Very interesting compositions by Faure, one of my favorite composers.
Reprinted from authoritative French editions.. The music of Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) is an important link between the innovations of late Romanticism and the experimentation of the early 20th century. A student of Saint-Saëns, he, in turn, taught Ravel and was a mentor to the young modernists of Les Six. These 12 nocturnes and 12 barcarolles, composed over a span of 40 years, document his move from Romanticism to the frontiers of 20th-century music
