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 me identify this piece

on: April 15, 2013, 06:52:11 PM

Starting from 4:28 until around 5:05.

The melody sounds so familiar, where is it from? It goes like this: da dam dam dam da dam dam dam da dam dam dam dama dama dam dam dam. It contineus the melody afterwards, but differently, faster I'd say. It comes back at 5:50 faster and goes on for a litle while.

Please help.

It probably is from the Carmen Fantasy, but from which part? What sonata what piece, where do i find sheet music to it? This can't be a piece solely for 2 piano's, it sounds too familiar for it to be.

It's an aria from the opera Carmen.

Love you Outin!

So where do I find a sheet specifically for this melody/piece? Thanks for the patience as well.

I would expect there is a piano transcription somewhere. Maybe one of our opera fans might know. I don't really like opera, this just happens to be one of the few songs I have sang myself...

There's something here:

EDIT:

Just pick one of these
