| Gabriel Fauré: Élégie Op.24 For Violoncello And Piano: Cello: Instrumental Work l gie for Violoncello and Piano op. 24-Following the enthusiastic reception of his first Violin Sonata (HN980) it was clear to Faur that he would continue to write chamber music. In 1880 he wrote a little piece for cello and piano that was intended as theslow movement for a sonata. However Faur gave up the sonata project instead publishing the piece under the title l gie. It was so successful that Faur was urged by the publisher to write further pieces. Theconductor douard Colonne commissioned a version of the l gie for orchestra in 1895 which was premi red two years later. As usual our Urtext edition contains both a marked and an unmarked solo part. Instrumentation : Publisher : |
