Love this sonata - a lot of it is not too difficult (in terms of just playing the notes) and it's full of character. While Moravec's technique is impressive, I find some of his tempi too fast - especially the Trio and the Rondo. That last section was a blur (it's marked quasi Presto. not Prestissimo).

That third movement is absolutely FLYING yet every single note is clear and played with intention. Has to be one of my favourite performances of this piece ever, probably how I'd play it

Yikes those time signature changes must be a real challenge to read and play! Lovely music.

Jazz, who needs sheep music?

Thank you for playing this on your piano and sharing it on KZbin for us all to hear. The generosity and talent are a gift to humanity and whatever animals are lucky enough to partake.

The Second pice of the book II, in my opinión, is the most complex of the set.

Jazz before jazz

Tempo too far. It blurs inner voices and the pulse.

What's the difference between virtuoso sheet music robots and REAL musicians who can pjay anything by ear and ad-lib? Mind you, there are sheet music virtuosos who can play anything by ear AND ad-lib too, which makes them to be REAL musicians.

one of the very few pieces of music out there that deeply resonate with my heart

good

I heard this long time ago on readers diagest records

Moravec's tone is gorgeous!

I have planed to study it for several years but the end of the finale looks very difficult.

Lindo demais!👏👏👏👏👏

Just wonderful !!

Stravinsky when he decided to make things simple:

8:23 Ravel used the same motif in his Le Gibet!

So beautiful ❤

For me, Images is the absolute essence of Debussy. If someone asked "what is Debussy like?" I'd play them Images. It is all things Debussy concentrated into half an hour of beauty.

I think this Claude kid gonna have a bright future. But he needs to work hard for that

You know some time it was not piano only, it was pretty forte as well. Piano-forte if you like

Some pieces are played too fast!!

splendid and amazing

Beautyful compositions !!! 👍

Thank you so much

My favorite set is probably Pleiades Dances VII. Crazy good stuff.

Yas love seeing Yoshimatsu’s homage to and admiration for Ravel in so many of these.

A treasure trove of gorgeous melodies.

So many wonderful pieces

Incredible interpretation

I wish I could play this song🎹

It wasn't that long ago that these used to get written off as "pretty music" with no depth. I think we know better now.

I hear little of claire de lune in the middle of Toccata..maybe..?

For lack of a better term to describe the genre, I absolutely love the impressionistic piano works, or rather as I call them often, descriptive piano works.

Vine and Harvey; what a combination. Bravo!

This is what Debussy should sound like. Moravec's radiant tone and profound feel for color, and the mysterious atmosphere of Debussy are glorious! I only wish he had recorded more Ravel. His recording of his Sonatine is stunning.

Great treasure, thank you.
