Carl Fischer The French Cello - Faure/Boulanger - Cello/Piano - Book

Composers: Gabriel Faure, Nadia Boulanger
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Cello and Piano

Some of the most elegant cello repertoire was written by French composers. With equal parts lyricism and charm, these seven beautiful solo melodies are a gift from prominent French composers Nadia Boulanger (1887 -- 1979) and Gabriel Faure (1845 -- 1924). Each solo work captures the essence of new Romantic music in 19th century Paris, featuring light-hearted tunes alongside melancholy meditations that are particularly well-suited to the sonorous violoncello.
