Rêve d'amour

Fauré’s Rêve d’amour and Le Papillon et la fleur (also from Chants du Crépuscule) are among his earliest Hugo settings. Of the two, although it was written a year earlier, when he was no more than sixteen, Le Papillon et la fleur is the more entertaining in its waltz-time tunefulness and, in its delicately flighty piano part, the more promising.
