This exceptional collection of works encompasses nearly the entirety of Fauré's compositional journey, offering a wealth of enrichment throughout one's lifetime. The inspiration behind such profound pieces as the 6th and 10th Nocturnes is truly awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, the 'Nocturnes' faced a challenging publishing history, leading Howat to identify numerous corrections, amendments, and alternatives directly from Fauré's own hand. He remains attuned to the dynamic and fertile nature of Fauré's creativity, viewing minor discrepancies in repeated or parallel sections as intentional choices rather than compositional errors to be rectified. His research includes piano-roll recordings of three Nocturnes performed by Fauré himself.

Fauré's piano compositions hold significant importance within his body of work. He dedicated his "Ballade," created in 1879, to his mentor Camille Saint-Saëns. This piece diverges from the traditional epic structure of the genre, adopting characteristics of sonata form while maintaining a lyrical essence. In 1881, Fauré orchestrated the "Ballade," which subsequently premiered in this new arrangement.
