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

geez.. Rachfan is a good name for you!! lol

WOW.  I have to say the beginning was a little slow and predictable...but at around 2:20 things start to get really interesting, and then it just ROCKS.

I am completely impressed...I certainly didn't expect to hear what I heard when I clicked that link.

your orchestration is cool... yeah...it's a bit "Rachy"  but so what.. 

damn! that is good.  I am afraid just one listening will not suffice... I will get back to you with any humble suggestions I might have.

Bravo!

wow, I agree 2:20 and onward was great.  Is this first movement? the beginning makes it seem like there should be material before it.  Maybe adding a more exclamatory introduction would help.

The whole thing is friggin sick. It had so many bada$$ epic moments which I really love. Also the beginning reminded me of final fantasy tracks, likely because that's what I was just listening to before this.

Suggestion : Maybe give the start of the cadenza at 5:05 a bit more BAM FLAIR firepower aka add more notes +++ tempo

More notes:
I effing LOVE  the horns or w.e at 1:21

It's really up to you.. you can do almost anything with the melody.
I think the harmony is a bit inconsistent, sometimes it sounds classical other times it sounds like film music.
