Fauré Ballade, Opus 19; Jeffrey Chappell, pianist

From the March 8, 2017 solo recital at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. Composed in 1877, this work from Fauré's early compositional period defined a new approach to keyboard writing that influenced later French composers such as Ravel and Debussy. Fauré also created a version of this piece for piano and orchestra.
