1. n'est pas joué à 73 à la noire et 4. à 73 à la croche comme demandé. 1.est trop lent, 4. est trop rapide. Tout l'équilibre de l'oeuvre en est détruit.
What I find funny is that the original organ score is actually ridiculously simple, because by using dense registrations, you can literally have 20 notes playing when pressing only 5 keys. So the piano transcription needs a huge amount of fill added; octaves, dominants, etc. But it still sounds feeble compared to playing it on a French romantic organ.
Ravel's friend and contemporary Charles Kœchlin said that waltzes were sarcastically laughed at when first performed. Who were those people to be laughing at THIS...
They did not know it was a new piece by Ravel, this and other pieces were first performed anonimously!! This is my favorite piano piece by Ravel, ex-aqueo with Le Tombeau du Couperin. I love Miroirs too, but with too many pianists it becomes boring. Alas, Argerich never recorded it and I don't know if she ever performed it in public.
BRAVO! Thank you for sharing this PRICELESS performance, of a divine masterpiece on the exotic period instrument!!! While I was already quite familiar with the pedal harpsichord, I’ve never heard (of, even) the pedal piano before, let alone an original period instrument! Now I’m wondering whether Liszt originally composed this magnum opus for the pedal piano? I’ve heard the organ version as well as the piano version, and I thought the latter was the transcription of the former (as he did with Bach’s organ preludes and fugues). Anyway, thanks again. Just AWESOME!!! Just checked out your other videos: DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBED!!!
Noch ein Musiker wer ist ein Heiliger geworden- der Stueck ist fantastisch schoen! Ein Heiliger von Zeus, zuwiss- also Rasa ist von Yule, sehr naehig zukuenftlich... Lands Ober Zeichung von Australien ist wirklich Nuin, Italia; wie Land hier wahrscheinlich sie hatten etwas rassentliche Verwirrung typpisch... fuer Land hier aber- Ober Zeichung Gort, Alba- sie sagen vielleicht Verlorenheit mehr wahrisch...
So Very Good and Beautiful and tragic and Soothing and Creative!!! Go Great Haydn Always!!! May God Richly Bless y'all and Jesus Peace!!! Merry Christmas yall!!! 😂🎉😮❤
Such beautiful music...it is kind of strange though why he put those fermatas over the rests at the very end of the first two movements...the player here really leans in to this for sure, but otherwise this was a very enjoyable performance of an overlooked gem
it's on dipabrsm syllabus, am currently studying it. first and second movements pretty straightforward, third movement is quite challenging in that it needs much control
