Nocturnes and Barcarolles for Solo Piano

Nocturnes and Barcarolles for Solo PianoThe music of Gabriel Faur (18451924) is an important link between the innovations of late Romanticism and the experimentation of the early 20th century. A student of Saint Sans, he, in turn, taught Ravel and was a mentor to the young modernists of Les Six. These 12 nocturnes and 12 barcarolles, composed over a span of 40 years, document his move from Romanticism to the frontiers of 20th century music. Reprinted from authoritative French editions.
