- Gabriel Fauré (1845 - 1924) was a French composer, organist, pianist and teacher.
This Romance Without Words is a mellifluous rare gem! The canon section in the middle is especially gorgeous.

Performed on Kawai CS6 digital piano.
Finally someone who can play this song the way it should be. I see you understand the meaning of romance. Good job!
Everyone has their own romance.
*piece
@@user-jz5sm4vv6v This is Fauré's, not everyone's. Playing this piece like a machine or at lightning speed, as some do, doesn't follow the spirit of the piece.
This music somehow reminded me of an innocent love between two young people. Such a lovely rendition, thank you very much!
Beautiful, tears came to my eyes. Thank you so much...r
Perfect tempo to express the sweetness of the piece. I could feel the sunshine and soft breeze when I listen to your interpretation. Thank you!
The two lines from RH, wow, that is the canon at its ultimate delicacy.
OH MY GOD BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Literally the first recording I've heard of this piece being played in the beautiful, smooth and emotive way it is supposed to be!! So beautiful!! Well done!!!
Wow. You don't just play the right notes, you play to invoke feeling. I really feel the romance in your rendition. Great job ❤️
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
This is the best interpretation i've heard on youtube, your recording brings out the pure magic of the romanticism!! My compliments!
+mando2791 Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I agree, this is exactly how I would love to have it played!
@@MXChan , who you are ? So so - you are a great pieanist, of course !!!! please, tell your real name ...I loved
@ MX Chan
MERCI BEAUCOUP 😍
Bravo !...
Well, even though this is a romantic piece, Faure is usually considered a composer of the Nationalism period, which coincided with the Romantic Period, because he incorporated a lot of folk themes from his own country, much like Sibelius or Dvorak.
The name romance without words really hit a soft spot for me. I have had a tough marriage but i will never quit. When i first herd this song i seen the title first and then the melody just really brought out all that love i have for her. I was at work to. Its really hard to fry hundreds of shrimp wbile having an epiphany hahaha
Having so much enjoyment going through your videos. So many new pieces so magnificently interpreted and brilliantly executed. I just love CZcams for this sort of thing. It’s an absolute privilege and pleasure seeing so much talent. Please keep them coming and thank you for the gifts you generously give us.
Brilliant. I listen to this song all the time
Inspired by your wonderful playing of this very early piece by Faure I am starting work on it this week. I’ve been studying the score and I’ve had a go at the left hand arpeggios which are gorgeous on their own. Give me about six months and I hopefully should most of it under my belt!! Thanks for introducing me to this music. I love it.
your interpretation is wonderful
+Marie Bilodeau Thanks, Marie.
Whow you've got a very good touch on the piano and the pieces you chose are soooo beautifull.... my copliments This piece from Faure is so romantic and its played perfect by you.
This is absolutely beautiful music. Expertly and tastefully played by a wonderful pianist. Inspirational. I wish you could do tutorials because I would gladly pay money to learn from you. Really enjoyed this.
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed it. To be honest I haven't the faintest clue on how to approach teaching or tutorials. These pieces I've uploaded on my channel are mostly all self taught from sheet music, and played from the heart.
Hi, I'm still listening to this and enjoying it as much as I ever did. Love your playing, thanks so much for sharing.
So beautiful! O the joy of listening to a beautiful song piece.
totally in love!
Nemesis piano me too!
Such a beautiful piece and you played to perfection.
I love this piece and listen this when im studying thanks
Simply beautiful, I can't stop listening. I'm Practicing it, if I could only play it as well as you. I would ask for nothing else.
Keep practicing. Time is the best teacher!
This is so beautiful -thank you for all your uploads of gorgeous piano music, your playing is so musical and such a joy to listen to.
Absolutely amazing! It also reminds me of Mendelssohn's song without words op 19 no.1
Yesss I played this for my grade 9!
I love your interpretation. I know it's supposed to be andante moderato, but your tempo works so much better for me! It evokes romance at its deepest. So beautiful, thank you for sharing. Are you on Spotify?
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not on Spotify sorry.
I love this so much! I was just here to see if I could play this, but I stayed to just listen
Beautiful
Bravo!!!.....Very well played!!!
simple, clean, and so *swearword* wonderful...
Stunningly beautiful performance. Perfect.
Ein wunderbares romantisches Stück voller Romantik und Poesie, das ich in mein Repertoire aufnehmen werde.
You're so playing gentle, softly and so flexible
Wonderfully performed. You have provided the "Role Model" for the romantic interpretation of this piece. I'm straight to my piano now!
You always introduced us some beautiful pieces. This is one of them. I love this piece and started to practice......First page.....Umm... Good! second page .....Oh NO ! This is not a easy piece. But I'll continue to practice. I got some advice from my professor about second page, today !! Your performance is wonderful as always.
Hello, this still gets me every time I hear it. I hope you enjoy playing it .
Bravo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
magically perfect 🌻💕
Gorgeous in its simplicity and restraint. I'm reminded of Mendelssohn's own "Songs Without Words" cycle, specifically op 53, no 1 in A flat.
You play very well--very musical and good tempo. You never lose the melody.
Extremely beautiful piece...
I play Faure's Pavane. You play very well. Congratulations
Beautifully played and sensitively delivered, Bravo and thank you
I have discovered this beauty in my exploration of the Kawaii CP209 as I would hazard you have discovered and been smittem by this heart yearning piece. I am in the processing of learning it for my own hearts desire! You play beautifully and I can only wish to approach your skills and musical soul!
Beautiful! Thank you!
It's a little hard gor me to play, but I like this piece.
Thank you for your excellent performance.
Tellement beau etdivin

Votre musique est douce, j'aime beaucoup ❤
The tempo is perfect as is the entire performance. I plan to learn this one. Same tempo of course.
You play the song superbly
Profoundly beautiful piece of music, tears fall as I type this. And I am not usually emotional in this way, kudos to you MX Chan.
Beautiful.
Nice performance! I know it's old but I just wanted to point out a few things maybe you could consider,
You bring out the melody really well, but you're playing pretty slowly. If I recall correctly, it's andante moderato, but it sounds like you're playing 40-50 bpm. This works for the bass, the problem is that the melody feels like it drags because of this. Try singing the melody at 70-80 bpm and you will see how it can really sing out. (Compare your initial tempo to 1:08, you want to speed up but you can't, so just start faster)
Make sure you're imposing each beat so your rhythms are connected better, you tend to rush near the ends of chord changes. Tap the beat while listening to your recording, you will hear that it's hard to predict each beat, that's why you should impose the beat more so it's easier to tell where it's going to be instead of suddenly dragging or speeding up
This piece is impressionistic music, not classical, so you don't have to be so strict on the rhythms. On that note, there are times you give a lot of time but never take it from anywhere, like at the ends of long phrases.
Sometimes you aren't accenting the 16th notes very well in the melody and it sounds choppy, the eight notes sound great so just make the 16ths sound like that too.
When you're playing crescendos you tend to attack the notes more to increase volume, this creates a sharp percussive sound, so instead you should lean into the phrases for smoother dynamics.
For the left hand, you should bring out the bass notes more by making the 16th notes softer and faster, and giving more time to the bass notes, almost as if they're dotted but still imposing the beat.
When you're phrasing the SATB section, make sure to listen to the alto voice so you can phrase the voices together more smoothly, that section was pretty good though.
In the recapitulation, the counter melody above the original theme is marked double piano (2:13), so make sure you don't emphasize it, it's more of an embellishment. Make sure to bring out the melody (lower notes) when it's played with the counter melody. Sing the melody if you're having trouble doing that.
For the rolled chords at the end, really listen to both hands to make sure it's as smooth as pretty as possible, and keep imposing the beat
In the SATB section, you tie the Eb, 1:40, and the reason you don't want to do that is because it puts too much emphasis on the alto line which isn't the important line
Again nice performance, paying attention to small things like these can bring your playing to the next level though
What a thorough analysis! Thank you for the tips. :)
Omg that's so good magnificent
Gorgeous!!
Very comfortable interpretation~
Came here from the webtoon 'what's wrong with secretary kim'
Wait I thought is impromptu no 3 op 64?? So I went and learnt the wrong piece??😭
Oh great I read a different translation version so I ended up in a different piece... but still I’m happy that I found out this :)
Love this! One to add to the sheet music collection I think. Well played!
Complimenti!!
Grazie mille!
1:32 Hi , the right hand thumb b flat and pinky d flat, my hand too small to reach that distance. The sheet show this ( symbol, is this mean i can break it? (I can see you break it.) If so, which note should i play first? Which note should play together with left hand bass? Thanks.
That's a good question. It really depends on your personal taste. Just follow your heart. :) Although from a technical point of view it will be easier to play the B flat first (and together with the left hand bass).
@@MXChan Thanks dude :)
magique !!!!!
So good👍
Thank you so much. Fantastic interpretation, which makes many professional pianists sound like robots. :)
The Authors This is my favorite interpretation of this piece - I have found on this channel what, to me, are some of the most magical interpretations of romantic era piano music. Out of the staggering amount of piano performances on You Tube, I keep wanting to come back here.
Nice piano sound. :)
The arpeggios are critical but difficult to do smoothly. Well done.
Perfect😃😄
At 1:41 I don't see a tie on the first note of the triplet on my sheet, what edition are you using?
I found the sheet music years ago on IMSLP so I'm not sure exactly which edition I used. But you're right! On my sheet music there isn't a tie on the first note of the triplet. I must have tied it purely for aesthetic purposes, so that I can indulge in that E-flat for just a tad longer. Just a personal preference. :)
Really beautifull! How did you record the piano? Sounds great!
Thanks. It's recorded straight as an mp3 into a USB drive :)
PikaPianist have you tried the Kawai silent system with these samples ? do you think they are as good as on the Kawai your playing on or is this a better sound ?
❤❤❤
Extremely beautiful projection of sound, great interpretation and romanticism! My daughter's inspired by it and will be learning this piece soon! Did you perform this on a Kawai CS6 digital piano? Sounds unbelievable! Can digital piano produce such excellent quality of sound?
Glad your daughter's inspired by this. Yes this is the Kawai CS6 piano sound. I also added some reverb afterwards.
Bonjour ! Je dois apprendre ce morceau et je voulais savoir si vous utilisiez la pedale una corda ? La pedale de gauche. Je ne sais pas si il faut l'utiliser et quand l'utiliser sur ce morceau... merci d'avance !
I can't remember if I used the left pedal in this recording! But use it in any passage that you want to be extra tender and sweet. :)
@@MXChan merci beaucoup pour votre réponse ! C'est très gentil ! En tout cas j'aime beaucoup votre interprétation ! Bravo !
This is so gorgeous, do you have the sheet music for this?
You can find most sheet music on the IMSLP website, and free :). Just google 'IMSLP' and the composer name and piece and it should come up. s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/d/dc/IMSLP00548-Faure_-_Romance_sans_paroles.pdf imslp.org/wiki/3_Romances_sans_paroles%2C_Op.17_(Faur%C3%A9%2C_Gabriel)
I’m curious which edition of the piece you are performing from. The edition I’m using is edited by Hinson, who suggests some oddly-phrased pedaling and extensive use of the una corda pedal throughout. I’m trying to find some clarification on this. (Although, if you performed this on an electric piano that’s a moot point.)
I'm not sure which edition I used here. It was from IMSLP.
It is plain to hear and see that you play from the heart. It stands out a mile and it's truly remarkable that you have reached these dizzying heights on your own, self taught. I'm self taught myself but with all the hours sitting at my piano I can never envisage myself playing anything at all as well as you do. There are so many so called pianists on line selling their expertise. Some are good and I pay for help from them. Antoine Herve is one of my favourites at the moment. He has a great teaching skill and he's also a great player with a bit of humour. If you could do something similar for your style of playing then there's no doubt youd get people only too happy to pay to learn from you. Your totally amazing.
GoLong 76 Why is it a moot point? Digital pianos have una cords pedals sustain pedals and sustenuto pedals if that's what you mean and they do perform the same influence on the notes being played, albeit digitally as opposed to mechanically.
Bonjour ! Justement, je me posais la même question ... avez vous trouvé la réponse ? Quand mettez vous la pedale una corda ? Faut il la mettre tout le long du morceau ?
Beautiful - are you using the right pedal?
Oh of course. :)
@@MXChan thank you so much! Do you use it the whole way through?
Yes I prefer lots of pedal for the whole piece. It is a romance, after all!
♥️
Is this slower than the original tempo? Only because I'm playing this as one of my pieces for my grade 7 exam and I've been told to play it faster, although I prefer it like this.
This piece is marked ‘Andante moderato’, but different people would interpret ‘Andante moderato’ differently. One could argue that there’s no such thing as the ‘original’ tempo. Music is up to the player to interpret it, after all. I suggest playing this in a way that's most comfortable for you, so that the music can be genuine. :)
@@MXChan thank you!
when the person that has a crush on you confesses she likes you on your graduation day
I would love it if I wasn't forced to learn it😂
Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me three🐱
Came from "what's wrong with secretary kim?" XD
Do sicilienne next..
촤촤촤~
Sigh 🥹
Such a wonderful pianist....someone needs to buy him a real piano so he does not have to play this digital instrument.
Thank you! I already own an Estonia Grand Piano! Much better than a digital for sure.
