Description

This composition for violoncello and piano in the style of a Sicilian dance is from Gabriel Faur����s middle creative period and was first published simultaneously in France and England in 1898, reflecting Faur����s increasing international popularity. The character piece with its memorable,expressive melody became increasingly popular after Faur�� had included it in the Suite from his incidental music of Pell��as et M��lisande (in a version for orchestra) that was also premiered in 1898.
Edited by Cornelia N��ckel with fingering and bowing for Cello by David Geringas.
