Après un Rêve

📄 About this piece

Set in F minor, Après un Rêve keeps a 3/4 flow at a Allegro pace. It asks for hand independence, basic pedalling and some phrasing control — solidly intermediate territory.

Gabriel Fauré, master of French late Romanticism, left elegant melodies and subtle harmonic shading in his Requiem, Barcarolles, and 13 Nocturnes. He taught Ravel and Nadia Boulanger.

Fauré's charm lies in the gentle sideways slips of his harmonic progressions. Fine-grained pedal changes matter just as much as finger legato here.
