5/5. Today, there's bad news as Faure's hearing problems finally force him to quit his post at the Paris Conservatoire, but good news when he's feted at a national celebration of his music. He writes the last in a long-running series of barcarolles for piano, as well as two works in previously untried genres: the Piano Trio, and his final work. the String Quartet. But first. Faure makes what he can of an unexpected, and unwanted peace dividend. C'est la Paix Op 114

Pierre-Laurent Aimard given last month at London's Barbican Hall. Aimard worked closely with Gyorgy Ligeti from the mid-1980s until the Hungarian composer's death a year ago, and the result was a collection of Etudes, several of which are dedicated to Aimard.
