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 agree

allchopin wut do you do for warmup?

For me I stretch my hands a million different ways until they're all relaxed then I start playing a little scales, a little trill practice from Hanon, octaves, then finish it off with chromatic scales

haha i didnt really expect a reply on this one- just a piece of advice. I dont stretch or anything. i have another post about this somewhere- i really just kinda start working on the song at hand, and trying to play it really fast, in order to loosen up. after about 2 hours at the piano, i feel so loose that i could almost play anything (almost...). yes i end with chromatic scale too. EVERY time i get off, i ritually do a full descending chromatic with my right hand- have been fot eh past 4 yrs of so.

o man if you want a fast two handed chromatic up, check out the very end of chopin's scherzo #1- absolutely amazing! (well i have the dmitris sgouros verison) i think going down the scale is much easier.
