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 "Mandoline" taken from the 3rd Collection of Fauré's melodies, the clarinet develops its tender melody to which the flute responds gracefully on the light accompaniment of the pizzicato strings evoking the plucked string instrument. Automatic translation.
