Faure - Improvisation

I played this for my recital on June 18th.

Teacher Notes

Written in C# Minor, watch for the change in keys and for the sequences. Don’t be too dramatic like Beethoven … who loves to make grand statements. Watch your rubato but don’t distort too much the 16th notes. This is the romantic era, watch the sequences and build up the drama. In the “I finally relent and let go” section, watch for the “Sempre Forte” but don’t get too fast. Watch your momentum and stay under control. Don’t lose your triplets in the coda. And finally clean pedal, and clear base notes.
