The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

I'm not sure if you want any critisism on this, but I'm going to give some anyway  :)

Very nice and mostly steady playing. You can really storm away with the arpeggios at the start without any problems, however that sort of makes the attention go more towards some of the other arpeggios that it sounded like you had a problem with. Or maybe that was just me? Anyway, I think it would be good to play this a little slower.
What I relly missed however, was some really overdone expression. The prelude has very beautifull melody lines and I think they should be played with much more expression. You should try to really overdo each dynamic marking, play with extreme rubato a couple of times and see which parts of that you liked.

P.S.: Always good to be inspired by the masters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-umLy_5J3k
