The B minor ninth nocturne (?1908) exemplifies the burgeoning late Fauré, with modally inflected harmonic explorations, clearer textures and off-beat rhythms. Its structure is unusual too: an outburst of melody interrupts its striving and drives the music to a slightly abrupt conclusion.

Le neuvième nocturne, en si mineur (?1908), illustre le Fauré tardif en plein essor, avec des explorations harmoniques altérées sur le plan modal, des textures plus claires et des contretemps rythmiques. Sa structure est également inhabituelle: une bouffée de mélodie interrompt ses efforts et mène la musique à une conclusion légèrement brusque.

Das Nocturne h-Moll (?1908) kündigt mit modal gefärbter Harmonik, klareren Satzstrukturen und gegentaktigen Rhythmen bereits Faurés Spätstil an. Auch sein Aufbau ist ungewöhnlich: Sein Vorwärtsstreben wird von einem melodischen Ausbruch durchkreuzt, der die Musik in ihr beinahe abruptes Ende führt.
