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

Dances

on: January 04, 2006, 09:46:25 PM

I'm playing a 20min recital for my A2 music performance, and I've found 12mins, which I'm playing on my cello. I'm studying Grade 8 on the piano, but I'm looking for pieces grade 7 or maybe grade 6. The pieces I'm playing are all types of dances, so I'm looking for a dance to play on the piano. I'm particularly looking for music in the Classical period. Could anyone help me if they know of some pieces like this? I've been looking for ages and I can't find much.

Thanks a lot

Beethoven many many dances, called Ecossaises. Some of them have Op. numbers but many have WoO numbers. In general they are not that difficult. They are very good I am surprised they are not mentioned more.
