An original and beautiful new guitar transcription by Faure here for guitar duo by Jan Hron. The Grove Dictionary describes Faure as the most advanced composer of his generation in France and notes that his harmonic and melodic innovations affected the teaching of harmony for later generations. He shunned virtuosity in favour of the Classical lucidity of the French masters of the hapsichord. the precisely articulated melodic line of his songs is in the finest tradition of French vocal music. His great Requiem and his Elegie for Cello and Piano have entered the general repertoire. The "Cantique de Jean Racine" op.11 was originally written for mixed choir and piano (or organ) and dedicated to Cesar Franck, it was composed in 1864-5.

Johannes Brahm's Intermezzo No. 2 from Six Pieces for Piano has long been one of my favorite compositions.I consider this work perfect as is, and I would not attempt to try to improve upon it. Therefore, every attempthas been made to keep this as accurate to the original composition as possible. Having said that, the guitarsimply does not have the ability to play all the notes simultaneously that the piano can. Because of this, somenotes have been omitted or transposed. Tablature has been added to the parts for the musician's convenience.However, notation-only parts have also been included. Grade: 4. Duration: About 5 minutes, 50 seconds.
