Bourrée - op. 62 - Sheet Music for Solo Piano Mel Bonis

Bourrée by Mel Bonis is a lively piano piece in B minor (Allegro, 2/2 time). The dance remains relaxed, and the piano writing is transparent: a striking main theme is followed by a singing second theme. The bourrée, originally a French folk dance, appears here with Romantic harmony.If you want to discover the piano works of Mel Bonis, a good place to start is with Pavane, Sarabande and Bourrée: three self-contained, manageably short pieces in easily playable keys that belong together as dances. The Bourrée forms the spirited final piece and works especially well as an encore.
