         FRA [1845-1924]Group: Light Short description: Roundish, harmonic, naive. Linking end of Romanticism with modernism. Advanced, harmonic and melodic innovations. No radical difference between first and last compositions. Developed compositional techniques that foreshadowed atonal music of Schoenberg, and drew discreetly on the techniques of jazz. Early influences by Chopin, Mozart, Schumann. Restraint and beauty of surface from Mozart, tonal freedom and long melodic lines from Chopin. From Schumann - sudden felicities in which his development sections abound, and those codas in which whole movements are briefly but magically illuminated. By using unresolved mild discords and colouristic effects, Faure anticipated techniques of Impressionist composers. In contrast with his harmonic and melodic style, which pushed the bounds for his time, Faure rhythmic motives tended to be subtle and repetitive, with little to break the flow of the line, although he used discreet syncopations, similar to those found in Brahms works. Piano works often use arpeggiated figures, with the melody interspersed between the two hands. Student of Saint-Saens.  Played 27 of 27 tracks for this composer (total 976 answers).
