Gabriel Fauré
Gabriel Urbain Fauré (* 12. May 1845 in Pamiers (Département Ariège); † 4. November 1924 in Paris) was a French composer.
Fauré received its music training at that to Paris school for church music from Louis Niedermeyer. Starting from 1861 Camille Saint Saëns became its teacher. After years as organist in the province it became active in Paris.
There he got 1874 the Organistenstelle at the larva line. At the Conservatoire it worked de Paris starting from 1896 as a professor for composition inthe follow-up of Jules Massenet, starting from 1901 he taught to the École Niedermeyer. From 1905 on he was a director of the Conservatoires.
Contrary to Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, which belong to the following French composer generation, is Fauré in the international music life by far less present.Beside style-historical there might be two further reasons: Fauré wrote quite few largeoccupied works (most well-known its Requiem, beside it an opera Penélopé, a Orchestersuite Masques et Bergamasques and stage music to Pelléas et Mélisande). The high point of its work probably exists in that Vowel music, in particular in piano songs. It is characteristic that some its songs, like Après un rêve, outside of France predominantly in instrument valley working on (e.g. for cello and piano) admits are. Furthermore Fauré wrote chamber music (ever two piano quartets, Klavierquintette, Violinsonaten, Cellosonaten) and piano music.
