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

freezing fingers when practicing

on: November 22, 2004, 01:57:22 AM

My fingers get soooo cold when practicing since the cold weather has started moving in. What should I do to keep them warm?

Thanks so much, Tash! Helpful advice in that thread, it's great.

I realized the vent to the central heating system in the piano room was closed. DUH! No wonder it's so cold in there!

My fingers also get cold when I'm typing- I'm wearing fingerless gloves (that I knit myself. How cool am I?) right now, don't know how much good they're doing though as I'm wearing a short sleeve T-shirt!
Anyway thanx again!

All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
