Violin Sonata No.2, Op.108 Gabriel Faure

Every season reminds me of some music.

But August is silence for me.

I hear the sun shining.

I hear nature whispering.

Music moves to the background.

When the sky climbs even higher and I feel cool, fresh air on my cheeks,

my mind travels back to where the story started.

It started on a bright May afternoon……

Under the clear blue May sky,I

see the green momentum shining in the sun,and the music that goes with it.

The sky left it there.

Fauré was born in such a beautiful May.

“Francescatti’s Fauré is an eternal hymn to youth,

perhaps a hymn to youth for those who have already passed it.”

Longing,nostalgic but not sentimental.

Distant longing filled with vibrant life.

Longing that still shines brightly.

Longing that still shines brightly.
