Summary of This Score
This collection highlights Gabriel Fauré's refined writing through all his single-movement pieces for cello. Designed for cellists seeking French repertoire from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it brings together lyrical, singing, and expressive pages where the melodic line holds a central place. The edition, prepared by Roy Howat, aims to offer a neat and legible presentation, practical both for daily practice and for concert or competition preparation.
You will find essential works, highly appreciated for their musicality and sense of nuance, such as Élégie Op.24, as well as pieces with contrasting characters, between lyricism and elegant style, such as Romance Op.69 and Sicilienne Op.78. The volume also explores more intimate and delicate atmospheres with Andante, Berceuse, Op.16, not forgetting lighter and sparkling pages like Pièce pour Violoncelle (Papillon) Op.77.
To complete the set, an appendix offers a "Sight-Reading Piece," a little-known sight-reading study written for two cellos: an excellent tool for practicing sight-reading, mutual listening, and rhythmic precision in duo. An essential for any cellist wishing to deepen their knowledge of Fauré's repertoire with a complete, structured, and musically rich selection.
