Product Details

Product Description

The Élégie, Op. 24 was written by the French composer Gabriel Fauré in 1880 and first published and performed in 1883. Initially composed for cello and piano, Fauré later orchestrated the work for cello and string orchestra.

The piece features a sad, long-breathed opening melody in the cello, with the piano providing a harmonically varied accompaniment. It then transitions to a contrasting major-key middle section before returning to the elegiac opening theme.

Analysts have noted the work's AABA CC Trans-D AC'C'coda form and Fauré's innovative use of structure and dynamics.

The Élégie was a great success from its premiere. It is one of the last manifestations of French musical Romanticism in Fauré's output before his music became more introverted and discreet. Contrary to some popular beliefs, the Élégie was not composed in response to Fauré's wife's death, as he wrote it before marriage.
 
In summary, Fauré's Élégie Op. 24 is a crucial Romantic-era work that showcases the composer's mastery of form and expression despite not being directly inspired by a personal tragedy as is sometimes claimed.
