🇫🇷Gabriel Urbain Fauré ： Barcarolle No.7 in d-moll Op.90

A gently undulating accompaniment, suggestive of a barcarolle, supports long-breathed melodies and Fauré’s characteristically refined harmonies. At the opening, it is important to let the melody sing naturally while listening closely to the inner voices and the changing chords. The middle section brings changes in expression and movement before returning to the atmosphere of the opening. Throughout the piece, maintain a steady flow of pulse, keep the melodic direction clear even at softer dynamics, and use the pedal carefully so that the resonance does not become clouded. This brings out the work’s quiet emotion and transparent texture.
