Fileuse de Gabriel Fauré (extraite de Pelleas et Mélisande). Transcription pour Piano par A. Cortot. Paris: J. Hamelle, [1902]. [PN] 4773. 10 pp.

La Fileuse appears in the composer's orchestral suite from Pelléas et Mélisande as an orchestral representation of a spinning song. The Fauré scholar Jean-Michel Nectoux notes that although Debussy omits it in his operatic version, Mélisande is shown at her spinning wheel in Maeterlinck's play. The present arrangement for piano is by the eminent French pianist and close associate of the composer, Alfred Cortot (1877 - 1962).
