This project explores selected French piano repertoire from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through aesthetics, expressive language, and tone color as an interpretive goal. It focuses on works by Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Francis Poulenc, taken as representative composers of this period. The project also connects these ideas to piano practice and pedagogy, exploring how concepts such as flow, contrast, and sound color inform decisions in articulation, pedaling, phrasing, and touch.Yanjue Lin is a classically trained pianist.
