Ondine
. . . . . . . . I thought I heard
A faint harmony that enchants my sleep.
And close to me radiates an identical murmur
Of songs interrupted by a sad and tender voice.
Ch. Brugnot - The two Spirits
"Listen! - Listen! - It is I, it is Ondine who brushes drops of water on the resonant panes of your windows lit by the gloomy rays of the moon; and here in gown of watered silk, the mistress of the chateau gazes from her balcony on the beautiful starry night and the beautiful sleeping lake.
"Each wave is a water sprite who swims in the stream, each stream is a footpath that winds towards my palace, and my palace is a fluid structure, at the bottom of the lake, in a triangle of fire, of earth and of air.
"Listen! - Listen! - My father whips the croaking water with a branch of a green alder tree, and my sisters caress with their arms of foam the cool islands of herbs, of water lilies, and of corn flowers, or laugh at the decrepit and bearded willow who fishes at the line."
Her song murmured, she beseeched me to accept her ring on my finger, to be the husband of an Ondine, and to visit her in her palace and be king of the lakes.
And as I was replying to her that I loved a mortal, sullen and spiteful, she wept some tears, uttered a burst of laughter, and vanished in a shower that streamed white down the length of my blue stained glass windows.
- Aloysius Bertrand

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all well and healthy! I had some difficulties to record new videos the past months but yesterday I managed to set everything up again. Today I can finally present you one of my favorite pieces in the piano repertoire, Ravels "Ondine" from Gaspard De La Nuit. Ravel really managed to make the piano sound like something completely new, like something no other instrument can reproduce. The sheer amount of notes make it quite hard to make this piece sound like it was intended to be. One day I‘ll present you the entire Gaspard suite, I promise! Merry Christmas and a happy new year, stay safe!

[@kuuderepiano2988]

This is phenomenal Mr. Bromaba, I can picture the ocean with your performance Could you play Les Jeux d'eaux de la Villa d'este? It's a rare composition Franz Liszt made. His composition has a lot of impressionism elements; in addition, Maurice Ravel was inspired by it

[@ErikCPianoman]

Nicely played man. You make it look easy.

[@ojcksn]

ANNOYINGLY easy 😂

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thanks man!

[@kuuderepiano2988]

3:48 This part is probably where the mermaid got sad and angry at knowing that the sailor is married (Ondine is a poem, really interesting. Try reading Gaspard de la Nuit, they're poems)

[@TheFlamingPiano]

This is insane! Clean and well done! Super underrated video!

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thank you!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Wow! Nice job. My first piano teacher growing up used to say this is the hardest piece ever written.

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

It's not the hardest piece ever written but it's quite a challenge 😄 thank you!

[@theowinckel]

Feux Follets is the hardest piece ever written

[@junheecho9800]

@@theowinckel it's just simply not but yeah both these pieces are very difficult.

[@theowinckel]

@@junheecho9800 yes it is Do you play the piano?

[@junheecho9800]

@@theowinckel I have played piano for about 8-9 years and I can say that feux follet easily not the hardest piece ever. The hardest piece is probably sorabji's symphonic variations.

[@teodorb.p.composer]

You can play one of the hardest piano pieces ever! You are genius!

[@hx0ad5]

this is the interpretation of this piece that's finally convinced me to give it a go myself. something about the way you play this seems more relaxed than other performances, there's more clarity to the sound somehow. it's given me some hope that this may be doable for me, so thank you for that. (not to downplay the difficulty though, i'm sure this will take me months, and i can only imagine how much work it took you to get something this hard so crisp & clear)

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thanks a lot and goof luck with it! It’s really challenging 😄

[@SKBajaj-rn3sb]

This is my favorite piece. Thank you for this.

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

You’re welcome :)

[@lorenzodavidsartormaurino413]

[@luismusique9531]

OOOOOOOFEEEEERS. Left hand go brr brr. Congratulations for playing such a monster.

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thanks!

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thanks!

I know I'm a little late, but oh my gosh! I've recently found your channel and have been listening to some of your renditions and interpretations of so many wonderful pieces, and I have to say, you are incredible!!! This is an insanely hard piece and its amazing you can pull it off so beautifully. Awesome video and playing, to say the least

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thank you really much, that means a lot to me!

[@sanntti112]

@@MagnusBaumgartl yes of course, I can tell that you work hard and you deserve every piece of recognition people give you. One day you will be up there with the big piano visualizer channels!

[@ojcksn]

Damn I’ve only just found this channel, and this is geniunly my favorite interpretation of Ondine, I’ve been looking around since March for a version I liked, Valentina Lisitsas was mm favorite but this one has overtook it lol, great playing!

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thank you really much!

Good job!

2:22 - 4:31 fav part especially 3:37

[@millennial8441]

Clever use of the pedals, nice timbre of the notes.

[@Mohammad-oy4vq]

Great👍🏻

[@emielgeerts]

Planning on playing the whole set? Anyways, great job on this piece. It's one of my all-time favourites and it is very difficult to express well!

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Yeah I will play the entire set one day. Thanks!

[@emielgeerts]

@@MagnusBaumgartl looking forward to it. You should check out Debargue playing gaspard ik the rippett art centre (I think it was 4 years ago). That's my fav rendition by far (yes, even better than pogo) and it was played live too!

[@nikvansevenant1611]

You play like the devil is inside you brilliant 👏

[@jannis11]

Really Naice

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Thanks!

[@wrigleyx]

03:45 C'est magnifique.

[@SKBajaj-rn3sb]

how long did it take for u to learn this?? also, at 4:43 why did you do left hand fingerings instead of a glissando?

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Around 2 months. Because slow black key glissandos tend to be unsteady since you can get stuck between the keys pretty easily so it's way safer to play it with the fingers instead.

[@SKBajaj-rn3sb]

​@@MagnusBaumgartlWOW 2 months?!!! thats insane! Also at many points you weren't able to hold to the "ppp" signature in the sheet music and sometimes the speed is a little slow, maybe you should post another rendition with these qualities a little more enhanced... this is not a negative review just some points to make it sound concert style otherwise you played it brilliantly

[@easttoast42]

Can you please do Pirates and Princesses by Johannes Bornlöf??

[@davincivangogh3956]

👌

[@taalamum]

How can one get the midi file to produce the falling notes? (I assume it's synthesia?) Thanks. Beautifully done, by the way.
