The Sicilienne originated as a commision for a piece of stage music that went unfinished. It was intended as a background music to Moliere's play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme with different instrumentation for cello and orchestra. The Sicilienne has colourful writing that is full of charm inspired melodies and rich harmonies that characterises Gabriel Faure's larger pieces of chamber music but also his smaller works such as this Sicilienne.

Faure, Sonata In A For Violin And Piano (Breitkopf & Härtel). “In this sonata, you can find everything to tempt a gourmet: new forms, excellent modulations, unusual tone colours, and the use of unexpected rhythms.”
