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

I'd love to have some inputs on the technique.
And what all things can be improved.

Thanks,
Vishal.

Hey man, it's a nice work, but I believe there's still room for improvement.
I don't feel emotion too much, it's kinda static and could benefit from some more rubato, imo.
Some notes are a bit uneven and in some parts, like the section at more or less 2:30, you play a bit different from the score, as there are some passing notes between the arpeggios that you don't play. Can't be 100% sure as I don't have the score near me at the moment, or maybe you could just have another version, but it is different from what I remember.
You're on the right track though, and with some more practice it'll be perfect ;)

I think you did a great job! Maybe some more rubato in the music and allow more flexibility in your fingers.

Hey Vishal,

Very nice man, thanks for posting. it's a nice piece to learn, looks like you've worked hard. I agree that you look a little static, now don't be confused, i'm not hoping for you to flare your arms all over the place :D

And also I should bare in mind that (assuming this is all one take) that nerves can make you a little more tense than usual anyway. Just work on giving each note its full value and it will come together nicely, E.G I see around the 47 second mark the double notes you play, you bring your hand straight off and use the pedal to sound it, try holding those down longer, in fact try playing with out pedal, does it sound as nice? we should be using the pedal to emphasize the sound, not to create it for us.

So year in general is focus more on how you want it to sound and owning the piece rather than the notes being 100% perfect and in time.

Obviously there isn't much going on in the left hand so you've got to quieten it down a little and bring out the right hand, not all the same level of sound.

There are probably other niggly bits, but it's much easier to point these out when watching when we all have our same little traits!

What are you working on next?
