the montagues and capulets from romeo and juliet pieces op.75!
this was the heart of a program called amantes sunt amentes which featured music about mad and ill-fated lovers, including ophelia, king lear, schumann and romeo & juliet.

Great job! you definitely have a feeling for Prokofiev and his score for R&J. Prokofiev's  use of the percusive dramatic parts in contrast with the lyrical are well played. the opening knocked me off my chair!

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.
