Not much is known about the origin of the 'Berceuse' Op. 16 composed in 1878 or 1879 although it surely is one of the most famous works by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). Later, Fauré even arranged the work for orchestra. This little masterpiece full of charm and tenderness has been re-edited by the renowned violin teacher Maria Egelhof, professor at the Lübeck Academy of Music.
