Very often, the piano part of Gabriel Fauré's melodies for voice and piano is rich in complementary voices, countermelodies and other elements in dialogue. An instrumental transcription allows to highlight this flexible polyphony, sometimes surprising, always expressive, transforming these short but concentrated works into true pieces of chamber music. For this transcription of the melody entitled "Arpège" taken from the 3rd Collection of Fauré's melodies, the main song is entrusted to the clarinet. "The soul of a flute sighs at the bottom of the melodious park": this evocation gives rise to magnificent melodic lines entrusted to this instrument, the first of which is introductory. Then, the muted strings unroll a very soft background accompanied by regular piano arpeggios. Automatic translation.
