French Music suggestions

on: October 26, 2018, 11:30:13 PM

I am preparing for a solo recital, and I am looking for a piece by a French composer to compliment the other three French pieces on my program: Faure Barcarolle No. 1 in A Minor and Oiseaux Triste and La vallee des cloches from Ravel's Miroirs. I am looking for something that won't take a whole lot of time to learn and isn't super technical. These are the pieces I have listened to and am considering:

Trois Novelettes by Poulenc
Suite Francaise by Poulenc
Six épigraphes antiques by Debussy (solo piano version)
Ballade by Debussy
La plus que lent by Debussy

I am open to any suggestions! Thank you in advance!

How about one of the slow Dusapin Etudes?

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31. Piano Street’s members are invited to watch the livestream. Read more
