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

need two pieces
on: December 23, 2006, 06:07:44 PM
Howdy! I need Stravinsky's firebird suite transcribed for the piano (I forget the guys name sorry :-\). And I need Gerwins rhapsody in blue. I'm pretty sure the rhapsody is copywrited so if it is can you at least send me a link to were i can buy a copy?

Thanks 8)

The transcribers name was Sam Raphling. Stravinsky also wrote a version for piano. Don't know where you could buy it.

Never heard of Gerwin.

Biret, but Biret is sh*t. I do however have a piano roll version of Stravinsky himself playing the firebird suite, which is probably his own transcription!
