Fauré, Gabriel : Ballade op. 19

Fauré s piano works are of central importance within his compositional oeuvre. He dedicated his Ballade , composed in 1879, to his teacher Camille Saint-Saëns. Structurally and in terms of its lyrical character the work breaks from the genre s epic form and takes on the traits of the sonata form. In 1881 Fauré arranged his Ballade for piano and orchestra and the work was premiered in this new scoring.'
