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

Which concert would you attend (even though unrealistic)? Also say why is you would like to share you're opinions with others.
Thanks,
Tom Pilkington ;D

I chose the etudes and moment musicaux because right now I am in the middle of learning a number of the preludes and have listened to the entire bunch of  them quite a number of times.  I already feel somewhat saturated (even though I know I still have tons to learn about them). 

I don't know as much about the etudes and there seems an entirely different overal mood to them than the preludes.  They are intriguing to me.   I am not sure if it is my own conjecture based on the names "prelude" vs "etude" but there is something less forward seeming about the etudes... I would also love to hear the moment musicaux.  I have never heard any of those played except for number 5, and even that one I don't think I have ever heard live.

both sonatas might be over-stimulating  :P

The Corelli Vars in concert, but replace the Paganini Vars with his Chopin Vars.

I've never heard the Chopin Variations before. Interesting... i'll have to find somewhere to download them...hint hint...(any ideas where?)... ::)
Anyway, I love Paganini Rhapsody.
I voted for both sonatas myself - i just love them!!! :P

I'd go for his 2nd and 3rd piano concerto.
