New version of "Yvonne Lefébure teaches how to play Ravel"

This is a new version of the video called "Yvonne Lefébure teaches how to play Ravel", which was uploaded five years ago but was spoiled by serious synchronization errors. These flaws have been kindly corrected by Louis César Ewande, who did a remarkable job and deserves to be warmly thanked.

A 12:35 we can see the journalist Jacques Chancel asking her about the Ravel /Debussy thing. It means that it's probably taken from his show called "Le grand échiquier", where he guested artists and musicians. Incredible to think that in the seventies, at 8:30 pm on a major media, the general french public could see Lefébure speaking about Ravel... Another world.

I’ve never seen such arm movements and brilliant technique with energy saving and intense contact to the keyboard. She was outstanding

[@maxaudibert5793]

Juste de la passion, la Vie, l'Excellence. Merci pour ce moment parmi les Grands.

[@Johnluthecomposer]

Such a wonderful clip. . . Lefebure was fortunate enough to have had Ravel tutor her. The final part is too precious.

[@jackmaitland8496]

incredible

[@SGregW]

What a wonderful sound she gets from the piano in Jeux d'eau!

[@dredpool3927]

I SWEAR, bro. That’s one of the most beautiful performances I’ve heard in the 7 years I’ve been playing the piano.

[@keplergso8369]

What a pianist !! At 3:10, the conductor is the brother of Pierre Cochereau, or from his family ?

[@victoresmenar2915]

He's his son

[@bsdkflh]

please tell us where is the rest of this!!

[@junenovae]

So apparently Ravel wrote stuff that were not supposed to be read the way he wrote them? I mean... what can we do with that information... I don't know anymore.. what should we do? Read it the way it is and hope for the best, or interpret what we read and hope for the best?

[@sophiementer]

Try to look for clues in sources (this video IS a source, for example) and learn from them how one should read a particular composer's music. This happens with everyone, not only with Ravel.

[@LeafGreen906]

clearly communicating the nuances of your ideas is by far the hardest part of composition. especially when it might mean something different depending on the time, place and person the piece came from. this is why as a performing musician you have to do research on the stuff you're playing, like watching this video. ravel would also play his pieces at a higher tempo than notated

[@TomTom53421]

Do your research

Moi, c'est la taloche à 0:51

J'adore! 🔥 Mon professeur de piano au Conservatoire de Genève, Louis Hiltbrand, était de la même trempe! 🔥 Il aurait réussi à faire jouer à un caillou Ravel et les autres! Souvenirs de 🔥

[@DustyOldCowTown]

What is the piece at 0:10 ?

[@DustyOldCowTown]

Never mind, I found it. Alborada del gracioso from Miroirs.

[@newhope1233]

It is "Alborada del Gracioso" (= "Dawn Serenade of the Buffoon", a work of Spanish inspiration), the fourth piece from the suite "Miroirs" (1905).

[@helmutthorn5648]

awful 👎

[@MattLap21]

Why?

[@frink32]

Well, it isnt awful. She's brilliant, but not even close to Michelangeli. Even compared to Argerich, he's impeccable. I implor you all to watch and listen to Michelangeli's performance. Perfection.

[@dredpool3927]

[@sebastian-benedictflore]

​@@frink32well, whatever your opinion, I find these an excellent case study.

[@micaelabonetti949]

​@@frink32J'en ai marre marre marre des comparaisons continuelles, c'est épuisant, cette manie. Quant à Michelangeli, si hysteriquement vénéré (je l'ai entendu de son vivant), désolée de comparer pour une fois moi aussi: en termes de 🔥 Yvonne Lefébure le surclasse, et de loin!
