Gabriel Fauré's 'Improvisation for piano in C sharp minor, Op. 84/5' is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1913. The piece was premiered by the composer himself on January 22, 1914, at a concert organized by the Société Nationale de Musique in Paris. The piece is divided into two movements, with the first movement being in C sharp minor and the second movement in D flat major. The first movement is marked "Lent" (slow) and is characterized by its melancholic and introspective mood. The second movement is marked "Allegro molto" (very fast) and is much more lively and energetic than the first movement. The piece is notable for its use of chromaticism and unconventional harmonies, which were characteristic of Fauré's late style. The first movement features a recurring motif that is developed throughout the piece, while the second movement is more free-flowing and improvisatory in nature. Overall, 'Improvisation for piano in C sharp minor, Op. 84/5' is a beautiful and expressive piece that showcases Fauré's mastery of the piano and his unique compositional style.
