Nocturne No. 13, in B minor, Op. 119

Ballade, Op. 19

Faure's Ballade, one of the most important of his earlier works, was originally written tor piano alone, and afterwards arranged for piano and orchestra. It is said to have been suggested by the forest scene in Siegfried, though it bears few traces of the influence of Wagner. (H.R.)
