Ravel Concerto in G Major (full)

[@randomname1251]

I first saw this video a year and a half ago. It was captivating! I have had 0 experience with playing any music, but this and one other video made me decide to give it a try. At 37 y/o, I started learning piano. It’s been a year and half, and I can already play a couple of songs, and have found it to be SO MUCH fun. Maybe, with (LOTS of) practice, I’ll be able to play as masterfully and soulfully as these young ladies someday. This is my first time coming back to this video. The musicians may not see this comment, but if they do, I want to say thank you. You inspired me to take the first step and start to play music. I never thought I would enjoy it so much. Nor did I expect it to help make my depression and anxiety less horrible. Thank you!

[@vivianlangchen]

Hello kind person :) Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt and inspiring comment. Wishing you all the best in your piano journey and lifelong enjoyment :)

I hated having it.

[@stacia6678]

@@iainlay1913It's part of the original piece. It's better to have it than not

I never heard a 2 piano version. Too cool! Great job, you 2! Ravel would be proud!

[@vivianlangchen]

Thanks so much :) 💖

[@kroert2259]

Absolutely stunning. Props to the accompanist as well! Doesn’t look easy playing a whole orchestra with just 2 hands!!

[@vivianlangchen]

Thank you! Ji-Hyang is a phenomenal pianist, you should check out her videos as well 😄

[@kroert2259]

[@Ken-sl4um]

Anyone else hear some Gershwin in this?

[@vivianlangchen]

For sure 😍 Ravel got some extra jazz inspiration touring the US a few years before he completed this concerto 🤗 Check out his violin sonata too if you like this jazzy Ravel style 😊

[@Ken-sl4um]

I always forget not all classical composers are from the 1700's. What do I know, I'm a 60[s rock and roller.🙃

[@vivianlangchen]

@@Ken-sl4um Your musical tastes are diverse and amazing :D

[@Ken-sl4um]

Hey, I was an incredible Nanki-Poo in the Mikado when I was 13.

[@wsc1955]

I read that Gershwin asked Ravel for some orchestration advice

[@stravinskyfan]

Was the pianist playing the orchestral part really sight read the entire thing on the spot? God, I really am a bad sight reader.

[@celineangelalin5239]

Of course not! They have rehearsed this performance together many times and she is only using sheet music because usually accompanists do (I am not too sure myself why they do, but I know that the soloists do not use sheet music because Liszt started that habit of performing without one)

[@celineangelalin5239]

If the accompanist sight read on spot then they will not be that coordinated with each other (I think, I certainly am not that coordinated with an accompanist the very first time in rehearsal, especially if the accompanist is sight reading)

[@vivianlangchen]

Yes Celine is correct, in fact this accompaniment is known for being difficult so usually the second pianist will have to learn it well like they would a solo piece ☺️ Don't worry about your sight reading, everyone can improve ❤️ I am not a great sight reader either!
