Faur\u00e9\u2019s radical Sonata No.2 in E minor<\/i>, Op.108 (1917) was written seven years before his death \u2013 an event which serves as a convenient staging post towards the end of that grand period of French music which is encompassed by the long life of his mentor Saint-Sa\u00ebns. As one of Faur\u00e9\u2019s late chamber works, it represents neither a fading \u00e9poque nor the charmingly languid autumnal canvas of a declining ear and mind. Faur\u00e9 was not the only composer to suffer a debilitating deafness in later years which brought with it, not unlike Beethoven, a kind of tension between physical struggle and energy (and its concomitant propulsion of taut motif) \u2013 a vision of celestial trumpets. No-one put it better than Martin Cooper (French Music, OUP, 1951) when he suggested that \u2018Faur\u00e9 grew less communicative in his music as he grew older. His music becomes increasingly less of a personal effusion as it takes on more and more of the landscape to which he retired\u2026 as the last great traditionalist in French music, more human and fruitful than Ravel, more sane though less original than Debussy and more wholly, unequivocally French than either\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
