Alongside weighty chamber music works such as piano quartets and violin sonatas, Gabriel Faurí© also wrote several charming miniatures for violinand piano. Among these is his Berceuse op. 16 in D major, which fast be came one of his best-known pieces following its first performance in 1880; countless arrangements were published. Its melodic subject matter andcolourful writing for the piano are reminiscent of Faurí©ŒÍs Violin Sonat a No. 1 in A major, which he had composed shortly before. This Urtext edition is the first edition to make use of the autograph sketches of the original version for violin, as well as of the manuscript of Faurí©ŒÍs ownorchestration.? Urtext Edition with marked and unmarked string parts.
