Gabriel Fauré
Sicilienne op. 78
This composition for violoncello and piano in the style of a Sicilian dance is from Gabriel Fauré’s middle creative period and was first published simultaneously in France and England in 1898, reflecting Fauré’s increasing international popularity.
The character piece with its memorable, expressive melody became increasingly popular after Fauré had included it in the Suite from his incidental music of Pelléas et Mélisande (in a version for orchestra) that was also premiered in 1898.

The preface gives a detailed account of the history of the piece and the historical origins of the Sicilienne itself. As a second study pianist, I found the fingerings in the piano part really helpful when accompanying my pupils. The cello part is on one sheet with fingerings on one side and none on the other.
