Une partie des citations dans l'article anglais sont des paroles de locuteurs francophones traduites en anglais, que j'ai ensuite retraduit en français. Quelqu'un aurait-il accès aux livres cités dans les références pour avoir accès aux citations originales suivante :

Le manuscrit (à la Bibliothèque nationale, Paris) is en Massenet's hand.

Citations de Fauré :

• "In piano music there's no room for padding – one has to pay cash and make it constantly interesting. It's perhaps the most difficult medium of all."
• "the greater they are, the worse they play me."

Citations de Camille Saint-Saens :

• "Ah! if there is a god for the left hand, I should very much like to know him and make him an offering when I am disposed to play your music; the 2nd Valse-Caprice is terrible in this respect; I have however managed to get to the end of it by dint of absolute determination."

Citations de Jean-Michel Nectoux :

• Fauré's stylistic evolution can ... be observed in his works for piano. The elegant and captivating first pieces, which made the composer famous, show the influence of Chopin, Saint-Saëns, and Liszt. The lyricism and complexity of his style in the 1890s are evident in the Nocturnes nos. 6 and 7, the Barcarolle no. 5 and the Thème et variations. Finally, the stripped-down style of the final period informs the last nocturnes (nos.10–13), the series of great barcarolles (nos. 8–11) and the astonishing Impromptu no. 5.

Citations de Philippe Fauré :

• the nocturnes "are not necessarily based on rêveries or on emotions inspired by the night. They are lyrical, generally impassioned pieces, sometimes anguished or wholly elegiac."
• His son Philippe recalled, "he would far rather have given his Nocturnes, Impromptus, and even his Barcarolles the simple title Piano Piece no. so-and-so."

Citations de Debussy :

• "I don't know why, but I somehow associated the charm of these gestures with the music of Fauré himself. The play of fleeting curves that is its essence can be compared to the movements of a beautiful woman without either suffering from the comparison."

Citations de l’éditeur Hamelle:

• "No skin off my nose. I've got what sells."
