🇫🇷Gabriel Urbain Fauré ： Nocturne No.13 in h-moll Op.119

This Nocturne is marked by an interplay of quiet tension and introspective expression. At the opening, a long-breathed melody is supported by the shading of the chords, creating a taut undercurrent within its calm flow. As the music moves toward the middle, its motion increases; it returns to the character of the opening and closes with a lingering aftertaste. The melody should be allowed to sing gently while the movement of the inner voices and bass is listened to with care, and the pedal should not cloud the sonority. Avoid rushing the dynamic changes and maintain balance among the voices to bring out its delicate expression.
