The third movement of Les Adieux expresses joy and excitement after a long separation. Beethoven wrote this music to celebrate the return of his close friend, Archduke Rudolph. The movement begins with bright, fast music that feels full of energy. Running passages and lively rhythms suggest the happiness and relief of seeing someone again. PS: I recorded this in 2024 while dealing with serious nail fractures, with my nails repeatedly breaking and shedding at the time. It was really painful!

Ravel was a great admirer of Liszt’s virtuosic piano music and his unique blending of sophisticated technical aspect and singing melodies. Jeaux d’eau is inspired by Liszt’s Les Jeaux d’eau a la Villa d’Este. It is often translated as ‘Fountains’ or literally ‘Water Games’ and is dedicated to his teacher Gabriel Faure. The work was premiered by Ricardo Vines in 1902, a year after the composition was completed. Harmonically, Jeaux d’eau is very advanced for its time, the rich sonorities and the combination of particular scales later influenced Stravinsky. Happy 150th Anniversary Ravel!

Gabriel Fauré’s Romance sans paroles, Op. 17 No. 3, composed in 1880, is a lyrical and elegant work that exemplifies his gift for melody and harmonic sophistication. Fauré follows in the footsteps of Mendelssohn's “Lieder ohne Worte” (Songs without Words) whilst at the same time enrolling into the French tradition. The piece is in ternary (ABA) form, with an opening melody that is tender and flowing, contrasted by a more agitated middle section. This brief shift in mood is quickly resolved with a return to the opening theme, restoring calm and closure. Fauré's subtle harmonic progressions and refined pianism showcase his ability to convey deep emotion through understated means. Despite its brevity, the piece captures a profound sense of intimacy and is a highlight of his early piano works.

This is my favorite piece from the new ABRSM Piano Syllabus! Sit back and enjoy the popcorn!
