🇫🇷Gabriel Urbain Fauré ： Barcarolle No.2 in G-Dur Op.41

Fauré’s Barcarolle No. 2 is a work in which a long-breathed melody floats above a gently undulating accompaniment. While maintaining the characteristic sway of a barcarolle, its harmonic colors shift, and the melody intertwines delicately with the movement of the inner voices. Within the broad overall flow, tension and repose alternate, making it important to hear the changing character of each section. In performance, the accompaniment should be kept light and supported by a steady breath, allowing the melody to stand out with natural legato and a gentle singing quality. The pedal should connect the sonorities while being used carefully so that changes in the inner voices and harmony remain clear.
