FAURÉ MATINÉE

Turned pages today
Piano music
Fauré's Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, op.15

It's nerve-wracking good fun!


Fauré's favorite instrument was the piano. He used it in almost all of his chamber music, all of his songs and everything else he wrote usually began as a score for piano. His musical expressiveness came from his fluency at the piano; and his ambidextrousness accounts for his themes and melodies which pass easily from one hand to the other.
