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

Is this a good trade?
on: May 06, 2006, 06:18:59 AM
I own a very old acoustic piano (I guess 60 years old) which doesn't sound very well. Also, the keys are very heavy (I compared them with the ones in a good piano, and they are indeed heavier than they should be). That is why I always practice on a casio keyboard (ctk 900). So, if I decided to trade them both for a good electric piano (say, yamaha), maybe adding some money (U$S 400 maybe), would that be wise? I ask this because I would like to practice in the elecrtical piano and then be able to play in an acoustic one without having to start learning the technic all over. Is this possible?
Also, I'd like to know if there are pianos with different weight in their keys, because all the electrical pianos I heard about were described as "semi-heavy". Now, how different would these be from a real acoustic one?
