The thirteen barcarolles are treasures of Fauré's piano music. Chopin left only one barcarolle and the other composers did not develop such a fruitful field.
Fauré deviced in barcarolles, inventing comparisons between smooth melodies and composite rhythms, such as 6/8 and 9/8.
Nos.1 - 4 are composed in the early years of his life.
Nos.5 - 8 are composed in the middle years of his life. No.5 barcarolle is dynamic, No.6 is lovely, No.7 is clear and No.8 is charming.
From No.9 to No.11 are most vague and difficult to understand.
No.12 and No.13 are clear and simple.
This piece in Three-in-one (ABA) form is most brilliant in his compositions.
The middle part of it like as follows : sonority from minor from major is beautiful.
