Teruaki Matsushiro took melodies from a song collection of undeniable sweetness and arranged them for wind band.
The Dolly Suite, Op. 56, is a collection of pieces for piano four-hands by Gabriel Fauré. The only piano duet in Fauré's oeuvre was written between 1894 and 1897. Its six pieces take a total of fifteen minutes to perform.
Fauré wrote the pieces in honor of Hélène, nicknamed Dolly, who was the daughter of his mistress at the time, the singer Emma Bardac. The Berceuse was composed for Hélène's first birthday, and the remaining pieces also appeared in time for the child's subsequent birthdays and other family occasions.
