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

Hi, it's nice playing. I can't comment much on this performance, it sounds great to me but I don't play this style of music so it's hard for me to criticize it- I can't see anything wrong with your performance, it's well played.

Hi xhunterjx,

Muczynski seems to favor a percussive and staccato sound from the piano, not unlike some of Prokofiev's composing for the instrument.  I tend to prefer and play the more lyrical side of the piano repertoire, so have not studied or played these preludes, thus will refrain from making too many comments here.  Overall, I very much liked your strong rhythmic drive, dynamic contrasts, and your sense of line and direction.  You have a fine technique that serves Muczynski's intentions well.  I think you brought out the potential of this music through your interpretations, and I must say I greatly enjoyed your performances.  They are very convincing!
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.

Nice job Hunter, these are neat pieces.  I enjoyed the mechanical sound of #6 (I believe) like a big machine shop or evil robots rampaging a city  :D.  Muczynski, I will have to remember that name.
