I'm playing Sicilienne Faure at the moment, and in a monthish I'm going to play it at a state competition. As probably most of you know, the piece was written by Faure as incidental music to the play 'Pelleas et Melisande'. I was wondering what people knew about the play/story and where the piece actually occurs in the story. I've found a tiny bit of information on the net, but not much.
Also, if you just have any tips, ideas, etc. on playing it, they would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
