Alkan - Barcarolle, Op. 65 No. 6 (PDF Digital Download | Printed Sheet Music)

Embark on a voyage of exquisite melancholy and beauty with Charles-Valentin Alkan's Barcarolle in G minor, Op. 65, No. 6.

This enchanting solo piano piece, the final work in Alkan's Troisième recueil de chants (Third Collection of Songs), perfectly captures the gentle, rocking rhythm of a Venetian gondola. Far from a simple song, the Barcarolle unfolds with haunting expressiveness and a characteristic Alkan blend of lyricism and subtle complexity.
