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

That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything. See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie. But that's just me.

You mean the arpeggiated chords in both hands? You just practice them H.S. and fit them together so you hit the D# and the B at same time. Honestly, I think I play the notes together until the last 3 notes in RH which I do along with 2 notes in LH, as a 3 against 2.

The lead-in in the previous bars is very important, and hard! Be sure to emphasize those rising chromatic bass notes, and in bar 43, emphasize the left hand B, then the C#, then the right hand D# must sound, even though in a decrescendo. Continue the decresc. through the arpeggio and leave it "hanging" in the air for a second before going on to the "a tempo."

Good luck!

thanks for the reply

I played it like that but I wasn't sure if it was right or not

As for the melodic line, even the book says that the b, c# and d# are very very important. Thanks for the tips
