Description
First published in 2011, this research study includes a biography section as well as the works of Gabriel Urbain Faure born on 12 May 1845. Much of Faure's music, especially the late pieces, remain little played and little known-as a result, his reputation as a salon composer of pleasant music continues even among educated musicians. The author suggests that it is more likely that the difficulty of much of Faure's music for the listener and the demands it places upon him or her are the principal reasons for its omission from concert programs and for a misunderstanding of Faure's place in the history of French music
