🇫🇷Gabriel Urbain Fauré ： Impromptu No.5 in fis-moll Op.102

This Impromptu from Fauré’s late period is marked by constantly moving figures and a sense of momentum rising from within. Its rapid flow is interrupted by contrasting passages with songful melodies, before the music returns to its animated motion. The delicate passages in the right hand should remain light and even rather than being forced, while the left hand must clearly support the harmonic changes and flow of the beat. When the melody emerges, it should be given a singing quality that does not become buried in the inner voices. Shaping the dynamic transitions across broad phrases brings the contrast between tension and lyricism to life. Use the pedal carefully, clearing it at harmonic changes so that the resonance remains transparent.
