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

Bamboula

on: June 21, 2006, 04:31:53 AM

Have any of you played Bamboula by L.M. Gottschalk? I would really like to. If you have, how difficult was it?

I like The Banjo, too. and Le Bananier

I have played Le Bananier. Not too hard (well, depending on your skill of course). The most challenging was to get the fingerwork in the 2nd half up to speed without tiring out, cause it's gotta run like lightning and you don;t have time to rest.

Bamboula and The Banjo are the same level, more or less (maybe Banjo a notch higher). All three are about the level of, let's say, Liszt Liebestraume #3 or Chopin Polonaise op. 26.
