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.

So can some save me by making a suggestion in which direction I should be going with this.

Hmm, I guess I have the wrong idea about competitions if they now encourage improvisation on well-known pieces. But I would say if you're going to do it, it better be sensational... Listen to some Liszt/Godowsky or Liszt/Horowitz/Volodos pieces for inspiration.
