Gabriel Fauré

1845  –  1924

Gabriel Fauré's Nocturnes, Barcarolles, and Impromptus form a private, elegantly modulating world halfway between Chopin and Debussy. His harmonic language, especially in the late works, anticipates much of the twentieth century.

Fauré's late nocturnes and barcarolles are increasingly central to French recital programmes, and his harmonic thinking shaped Ravel and the entire Conservatoire tradition.
