Maurice Ravel - MENUET ANTIQUE Op.7 (Score-Video)

Roberto Bertero at the Gustavo Zanin Organ of Turin’s S.ta Rita Sanctuary (Italy).
- Recording dating back to the year 1997 -
In this video I am playing my organ version of Maurice Ravel's Menuet antique.
Being a pianist and conductor, Ravel never wrote works for organ. That's a pity, because undoubtedly the creative flair of this music titan could have well contributed in enriching the organ repertoire.
Nonetheless, where the original works are missing, arrangements and transcriptions come to the rescue. These are compositional techniques for adapting and transmigrating musical material from one ensemble to another. In this case from the piano to the organ.
The score that you can follow during the video is the original piano version, not my organ version, which I have never reproduced on paper as I’ve appropriately deduced it by distributing the musical material between the Pedal (often double) and Keyboards. In these cases, the choice of registers is also very important, in order to convey the original expressiveness of the piano, albeit in a different way.
I did not record this video at the Consolata Sanctuary organ, but at the Gustavo Zanin organ, located in the Parish of Santa Rita in Turin (Italy).
Here is the tech equipment I’ve used in order to capture this live recording:
DAT recorder Aiwa HD-s1
Microphones Sennheiser K3U + ME80
