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

Bach Partita in Bflat Gigue

on: October 08, 2003, 12:36:24 AM

Hello, is anyone learning Bach Partita Nro. 1 in Bflat, Gigue? I' m working on this piece and have some problems, speccially with the balance of the hands.

Thanks,
Alejandro.

I played the B partita several years ago. I don't have the score with me, but are you distributing the hands correctly? The right hand stays in the middle and the left jumps on the melodic extreme notes. Given that, just practice slowly in EVEN triplets while accenting the LH downbeats, probably with metronome, it will come to you.

Edited for spelling.
