Description
"Complainte" (Lament) is a short character piece by Louis Sardain, a French composer about whom little biographical detail survives. As the title suggests, it centers on a plaintive melody, written in the expressive idiom typical of 19th-century salon piano music. Though modest in scale, it calls for a singing, expressive touch.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
