Fauré is known for his flowing melodies and lucid harmonies. Listening to his music it is logical to assume he is the precursor to french impressionistic music which his later works often strayed towards. When you hear other composers stereotyping “french” music they often get something that is imitative of Fauré’s music, delicate but not necessarily fragile. The next splurge I put out on Fauré’s works will include his much more frequently played chamber works. Below the fold are his violin and cello sonatas and several short piece for violin or cello and piano. If I can find some recordings of these works on Youtube I’ll update this post later today.
