Cover art of Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte (1900)

Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) is a work for solo piano by Maurice Ravel. It was written in 1899 while the French composer was studying at the Conservatoire de Paris under Gabriel Fauré. Ravel dedicated the Pavane to his patron, the Princesse de Polignac.

It was first published by Eugène Demets in 1900. In 1910 Ravel published an orchestral version with two flutes, an oboe, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, harp and strings.

Y'all so I heard a concert where a cellist, like A SKILLED, GOOD, PROFESSIONAL CELLIST played a fauré piece. I remarked to my cello professor (also there for the concert) that I wasn't too big a fan of faurés cello rep, to which this man says "well nobody would when it's played like that" LIKE HELLO?! (to an extent i agree with him but like what was that)

I must stress this was on a technical level one of the better performances I've seen. every note was well placed, well dynamic'ed and played with good tone.

Prof hated the fauré THAT MUCH based JUST on *interpretation*

there WAS phrasing there WAS color change there WAS an overall sense of musical continuity and most importantly the performer KNEW WHAT HE WANTED OUT OF THE PIECE AND HE GOT IT

it was, by my metrics for what makes a good performance regardless of my preference, a good performance

but apparently he did it wrong ROFL better luck next time dude

Paul Verlaine

Paul Verlaine was a French poet and figurehead of the Symbolist and Decadent art movements following Impressionism, in part due to his lurid imagery. Though celebrated, he consistently held a certain sympathy for his avant-garde fellows who had not achieved the spotlight, namely Stéphane Mallarmé. The group was often inspired by drug use and Schopenhauer. Verlaine was a poet of great promise even from a young age. In his later years as an established man of letters, he would become lovers with the fellow French transgressor, Arthur Rimbaud. Their relationship would be short-lived, however, as Verlaine would jealously shoot Rimbaud twice, injuring him in the wrist and ending their correspondence. Rimbaud would later become an ardent critic of Verlaine's style. The series of poems titled Romances sans paroles (1874) recounts his affair with Rimbaud alongside fond recounting of his relationship with is wife, Mathilde Mauté. The work would go on to be successful. At the age of 33, Verlaine would enter another homosexual affair, one with his English student, Lucien Létinois. Tragically, Létinois would pass away from typhus six years later, devastating Verlaine. Verlaine would die sadly at the age of 51 in the year 1896, suffering in poverty and addiction, even in spite of the public's love for him. In the same year as his death, his work would have a Renaissance in  fin de siècle France, spiring early 20th century composers like Gabriel Faure and Claude Debussy, who would base Clair de Lune after Verlaine's poem of the same name.
