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

Haha.  Nice.

I kept thinking it sounded like Rachmaninoff... but it's not.

It is good that you thought that as it was supposed to sound like Rachmaninoff.

It was written for the film "Dangerous Moonlight" and the film director originally wanted to use Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto.

Snobs and plinkers would turn their noses up at such music, but I love it.

Yep.  I've heard the title before.  Just never listened to it.

I started looking for Rach 4, thinking might be it, but still probably not.  Then possibly Shostakovich.  Quick search there.
