It is a primary research book for understanding Fauré. It cannot be denied that the other three Japanese editions that followed this book have played an extremely important role in understanding this symbolist composer from multiple perspectives. These are "Saint-Saëns and Fauré: Correspondence" published in 1993, the monumental work "Fauré: Biography of Light and Shadow" released in 2000, and Jankélévitch's "Fauré: The Unspeakable..." published in 2006, which was the result of 20 years of translation work. However, in order to understand these three books and get closer to the world of this musician, the guidance of this book is indispensable. Conversely, even for readers who are not so specialized but want to quickly grasp the whole picture of Fauré, this "Gabriel Fauré" is a valuable book. And perhaps in this regard, the reason why it has been supported for 18 years and will continue to be read through generations can be recognized.
