This is from my first faculty recital, as part of the Masterful Keys Virtuoso Piano Concert Series at University of La Verne. I lovingly called the recital "Alotta Toccatas" because I played a lot...of Toccatas.
Recorded 2.17.24.
Maurice Ravel (1875 - 1937) was one of the main composers during French Impressionism, along with his elder acquaintance, Claude Debussy. He studied at the premier French music college, the Paris Conservatory. He is known for his masterful orchestrations and colorful tone colors in all mediums he wrote for -- piano, vocal, and orchestra. The Toccata is the 6th/last movement of the suite for piano, Le tomb eau de Couperin, which is his tribute to Baroque music and dance forms.
