Apres un reve (1878) is one of Faure's most popular songs, a longing for dreams of a mysterious night, and an elusive, ecstatic love that withers in the light of day.
The instrumental song-without-words omits the text by Romain Bussine, who adapted an anonymous Italian poem. Faure's Papillon was published
in 1898, but commissioned fourteen years earlier. This short encore piece oscillates between virtuosic moto perpetuo writing, the butterfly wings flapping in flight, and a soaring melody in the cello accompanied by a descending bass line in the piano.
