Advanced talent of Gabriel Fauré

It would be completely unfair if we left out at this blog legacy of Gabriel Fauré, an outstanding French composer believed to be the foremost composer of his time in France. He inspired with his works many Impressionist as well as modern composers and influenced thereby strongly whole contemporary classical music.
Sheet music of one of his most delightful pieces can be found here: Pavane, Op. 50. It charms with its harmony being very exquisite and subtle though sometimes broken and emotionally disordered because of unresolved mild discords which Fauré especially favored.

Thoughts about rare sheet music

As Aristotle said in his Rhetoric, “What is rare is a greater good than what is plentiful. Thus, gold is a better thing than iron, though less useful: it is harder to get, and therefore better worth getting.” And, of course, nobody will deny that rare sheet music is a huge cultural treasure of the whole mankind keeping on its old ragged sheets of paper deepest emotions and creative impulse of a composer which could be beyond recall, but for some real music lovers who preserved it carefully for posterity. And the greatest happiness for them is to share these priceless treasures with people who will do full justice to their beauty and play each note with bated breath making the piece flourish delighting the ears and the hearts of all listeners.
