| Video Discription | Gabriel Urbain Fauré (12 May 1845 – 4 November 1924) was a French Romantic composer, organist, pianist and teacher. He was one of the foremost French composers of his generation, and his musical style influenced many 20th-century composers. Among his best-known works are his Pavane, Requiem, nocturnes for piano and the songs "Après un rêve" and "Clair de lune". Although his best-known and most accessible compositions are generally his earlier ones, Fauré composed many of his most highly regarded works in his later years, in a more harmonically and melodically complex style. 5 Impromptus for piano 1. Impromptu No.1 in E♭ major, Op.25 (1880) 2. Impromptu No.2 in F minor, Op.31 (1883) (3:40) Dedication: Mlle Sacha de Rebina 3. Impromptu No.3 in A♭ major, Op.34 (1883) (7:47) 4. Impromptu No.4 in D♭ major, Op.91 (1905-06) (12:31) Dedication: "Madame de Marliave" (Marguerite Long) 5. Impromptu No.5 in F♯ minor, Op.102 (1909) (17:58) Jean-Philippe Collard, piano Impromptu No 1 in E♭ major, Op 25 (1881) Cortot compared the first impromptu to a rapid barcarolle, redolent of "sunlit water", combining "stylised coquetry and regret". Impromptu No 2 in F minor, Op 31 (1883) Dedicated to Mlle Sacha de Rebina, the second impromptu maintains an airy tarantella rhythm. It is scored less richly than the first of the set, giving it a lightness of texture. Impromptu No 3 in A♭ major, Op 34 (1883) The third impromptu is the most popular of the set. Morrison calls it "among Fauré's most idyllic creations, its principal idea dipping and soaring above a gyrating, moto perpetuo accompaniment". It is marked by a combination of dash and delicacy. Impromptu No 4 in D♭ major, Op 91 (1906) Dedicated to "Madame de Marliave" (Marguerite Long), the fourth impromptu was Fauré's return to the genre in his middle period. Unlike much of his music of the period, it avoids a dark mood, but Fauré had by now moved on from the uncomplicated charm of the first three of the set. His mature style is displayed in the central section, a contemplative andante, which is followed by a more agitated section that concludes the work. Impromptu No 5 in F♯ minor, Op 102 (1909) Nectoux describes this impromptu as "a piece of sheer virtuosity celebrating, not without humour, the beauties of the whole-tone scale." Morrison, however, writes that the work "seethes with unrest". Impromptu in D♭ major, Op 86 bis (Transcription of the Impromptu for harp, Op 86, 1904) The last work in the published set was written before numbers four and five. It was originally a harp piece, composed for a competition at the Paris Conservatoire in 1904. Cortot made a transcription for piano, published in 1913 as Fauré's Op 86 bis. The outer sections are light and brilliant, with a gentler central section, marked meno mosso BiwG-4uxTl8 |
