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

Woah! Which hall is that? It looks huge! was it a competition or something?

Great playing :) Uhm.. This is probably just my taste, cause most ppl play like you do. Though I would probably play it with less rubato. It's a lot like both the Schubert impromptu in G-flat, and the Chopin etude op 25/1. If you play them with too much rubato, you klind of ruin the simplicity.
I think it's the same here. Don't over-do it. Imo...

Not a bad performance at all!
I used to play this a lot.  I still use it as an encore piece.  I just realized, listening to your performance, I've been playing a wrong note for the past half century.  And no one EVER said anything to me.  In the 7th bar before the end, on the 5th beat, I've always played a c-flat.
Can't believe it...
