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

 Dear Skt:
 It's impossible to answer without some further informations. Where did it come from?

 Dear Skt:
 I wanted to know because fingering is not only about pitch: it's about rhythm, phrase, accents, dynamics, agogics, expression, pedalling, etc; i.e., about everything. That's it, without a proper look at the score, a suggestion of fingering is normally useless to myself.
 I see no problem in learning such repertory, although personally I don't have any interest in do this. Anybody with its own problems...  ;D
 About the answer itself, the passage made me think. There are at least three major possibilities, and I didn't have the time yet to try them. I promise that as soon as possible I'll provide some ideas.
 Best!

I would it play with

1 2 3 4  then 1 on G# (!!!) 2 3 4 5   1 on G# 2 3 4 5  1 2 5

LH the same (with 5 on G#)



for the second figure I don't know because it's not on the sheet.
If it doesn't work - try something different!

Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet. Here, in conversation with Piano Street at Liszt Utrecht 2026, he shares his vision. Read more
