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 have not. But let me tell you, my relative pitch is exponentially better than it was 12 years ago when I started my music degree. Back then, I couldn't tell if a violinist or singer was playing in tune or slightly off. Now I quite often hear when somebody is not on pitch. This of course also helps with transcribing music from recordings and stuff. Even if you can't learn perfect pitch, you can certainly train your hearing a great deal.
