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

Help with a song

on: April 08, 2010, 06:31:14 PM

I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with a song that's been in my head. I've been dying to find the sheet music for it, but I have no clue what it is. It sounds Russian to me - deep and intense. Attached is a few bars. Hopefully someone can hum or play it and recognize it! Not sure if you can really tell what the notes are: it is in the key of D major. The first four notes are dotted quarters: G. E. F sharp. D. Then four eighth notes: GFsharpED two quarters: E A two dotted quarters: F sharp. C sharp. The notes are probably not right, but it's a guess and the melody sounds right to me.

Strange, I know that too, I think it's from a Charlie Chaplin movie (don't remember which one), so probably it has been composed by Charlie Chaplin himself.
