Nocturne No.6 Op.63 In D Flat

Fauré?s 13 Nocturnes form the most significant group of piano character pieces in his oeuvre. Despite their title which places them in the tradition of John Field and Frédéric Chopin Fauré here develops a genre all of his own.These are no dreamy scenes of the night but carefully structured iridescent pieces that alternate between lyrical elegance and passionate drama. Fauré composed the 6th Nocturne in 1894 while spending the summer at the house ofhis parents-in-law. With its strong contrasts of tempo metre and harmony it is by far the most significant and best-known of his Nocturnes. In a letter that he wrote after completing it Fauré wrote: ?Modern piano music that isa little interesting is an extremely rare thing? a state of affairs that seems to have been a good enough incentive for him to enrich the repertoire with his Nocturne op. 63!

The music of Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) is an important link between the innovations of late Romanticism and the experimentation of the early 20th century. A student of Saint-Saëns he in turn taught Ravel and was a mentor to the young modernists of Les Six. These 12 nocturnes and 12 barcarolles composed over a span of 40 years document his move from Romanticism to the frontiers of 20th-century music. Reprinted from authoritative French editions.
