I picture three scenarios. 1: A little water nymph is dashing across the lake in the sparkling sunshine. 2: A little space probe makes it's way across the universe and all it's shimmering beauty. 3: A little snowflake is being blown away by the chilly winter wind across the blanketed land.

The slower tempo and your wonderful voicing really brings out Ravel's colorful harmonies here which tends to get lost with the super fast tempo I've heard other professionals play at. Wonderful interpretation!

I've been listening to your interpretation for months and I never left a comment - Your interpretation definitely surpasses most interpretations I've heard, albeit played on a digital piano (assuming from sound quality) and that I've watched your videos on how to tackle this piece section by section, and can safely say this is in my top 2 if not my favourite interpretation of this piece. Bravo.

Hey thanks for the kind and thoughtful comment. Yes it's a digital piano. Some of my recordings are on an old Ibach (Ravel's une barque for example) with 85 keys.

This video of of the piece with the score above your hands is extremely helpful to me. Thank you again! I've tried to find an answer online but exactly what to does "long" indicate on the 7-note trill at 5.30? I've heard this trill last three or more seconds and some play it for just a second. Is Ravel giving a very specific time length for the trill? But I guess the fermata let's us decide how long to extend the trill?
@pianomosaic Жыл бұрын
Hi Scott, There's definitely no specific time measure (or he'd have notated that) but now that I listen to this again, I think I'd rather play it longer than I did here. I suppose the risk of playing it too long is greater than too short since it can interrupt the fireworks. But that's just my view of it.

what software do u use to put the sheet on an image or a video ?
@pianomosaic Жыл бұрын
The way I did it here was: Step 1: take screenshots of the sheet music pdf file so you have images. Step 2: Open them in a graphics editor like photoshop (I used paint.net) and delete the white background to make it transparent (you may have to alter the threshold/sensitivity to get it right). Step 3: Insert them into the timeline of your video editor like you would with regular sheet music images. I think on one video when I used Adobe After Effects I could make the background transparent as a built-in function without having to do it first in a graphics editor. Might have also been Premiere Pro. Think it was the Debussy Reverie or Gaspard but not sure.

No it's for voicing. The left hand is general weaker for pianists so he made you twist hands in order to voice the melody.

this is a great performance, the only critic i have i suppose is the way you use the sustain pedal isn't the best, there are a lot of sections where you could have stopped holding it too early, but other than that this is very impressive, keep it up :)
