I dialed up, on Qobuz, Igor Levit's most recent release, and the thing that really caught my ear was Feldman's "Palais de Mari."
Now, 50 years ago, I was a star, non-native, statewide-ranked student of French; but others may know better.
That said, I think that most French nouns always require an article, such as "Le."
So, perhaps it should be, Le Palais de Mari.
And, while at first glance, the word "Mari" would be taken as "husband" (in which case, it would have been "du Mari"), what Feldman refers to is an ancient palace in Syria.
He saw a fresco fragment from it; IIRC at the Louvre.

It's 28 minutes of mostly one-and-two fingered pianism, that somehow manages not to be simplistic or predictable(!!!!!).
If you do not already know it, I think you will love it.
