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

Fingering help

Hi all

Still learning how to play. What is the best LH fingering for this? I can't seem to get comfortable any which way.

Thanks in advance.

I'd do 1525 1515. Make sure all the muscles controlling your thumb are completely relaxed whenever it's not pressing a key.

Depending on your hand size, 2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5-2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5 might be pretty comfortable, too.

2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5-2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5

That's really awkward to me.

1525 1515.

That's kinda awkward, but I gues it's something I will just have to get used to.

Thanks both.

Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
