Cuando era joven me enamoré de esta obra Estudié piano.

@@cobblestonegenerator they do if the video is over 10 minutes long

There's a thread of thought about the last movement, that it's a deliberate depiction of memory of a party, perhaps in bed, falling asleep with wisps of the night's music weaving in and out. That makes it even more delicious to me

Yes, M.Ravel used to use expressions like "F*** that" a lot. Not a very sophisticated man.

@@plekkchand who hurt you?

In this song, I feel he was making a subconscious statement to basically say “I’m more genius that you and you don’t know what I just did bc I’m genius and your not, so let’s elaborate the following so you understand

@@cobblestonegenerator it’s true lmao ravel was very robust. Piss him off and he’d bite back

It was very early in his career, at a time when a good handful of French composers had similar styles. We have the advantage of perspective. :))

@@lc1715 Similar French composers such as Lili Boulanger? Also, I thought Ravel would've been well established by 1911! He wrote his Miroirs in 1905...

@@lc1715 He was pretty established by this point, but it premiered at an event where none of the composers were named and thus the pieces could be more "adventurous"

dude omg, i started practicing this and i can barely make the largest stretches hahaha

Ravel had it out for every pianist who wasn't an Ubermensch. Rumour has it he walked around with a copy of Gaspard de la Nuit and pulled it out every time he met a cocky pianist. Okay, I just made that rumour up, but anyway.

Well, small handed as scriabin, he wrote some of those agility-needed sonatas ... so maybe pick between bid handed and agile?

It's funny because Ravel himself couldn't have had big hands, he was quite short.

Somebody who loves this guy talk him out of tattoo

@@brandonmacey964 Thanks, I eventually came to my senses.

Tiffany Poons recording of that waltz is what made me fall in love with it

All of them are parts of la valse

I didn't know Ravel liked anime 😭😭😭 weeb Ravel represent!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖!

@@lampphoto ?

I can't copy and paste this to Google translate

7 is crazy hard

@@_wade_morgan Oh yeah, that one for sure.

3 was far harder than 5 and 6 in my experience

@@Iumine Ya know, upon further reflection, I meant 4, not 5. But yes, I agree 3 is pretty tricky.

Ezequiel Tomaselli Composición Exactly!! Without the bold, unprecedented chords, progressions, voicings of Debussy and Ravel, I ask you: would jazz as we know it today exist?

Ezequiel Tomaselli Composición How about the dominant 7 chords with a major 7 as the top note! You don't even hear that in jazz often, because of the b9 rule it being too dissonant!

Before the "rules" were invented, Ravel proved there was never a need for them :o

Jazz would have existed with or without Ravel or Debussy. But the thing, and you got this part right, is that Jazz borrowed lots of late Romantic chords from then Europe which kind of made Jazz what it is TODAY. But yeah, jazz definitely would've existed anyhow.

@@Noah-wv4td It's a rule I learned in jazz harmony class. The b9 is only allowed in dominant 7th chords and not in minor 7th or major 7th chords, though that rule is often broken with the minor type chords. Major 7b9 is a weird one because it does not belong to a diatonic mode nor any of the conventional modes.

Yes, I love that part too.

indeed!

Yes

Of course

It's not even the first time Ravel used such harmonies in one of his compositions. Notably in Ondine, the first movement of Gaspard de la Nuit there's a section that is pretty much coltrane changes but minor. It's not really a secret that many jazz musicians loved the works of Ravel, Debussy, Satie, Scriabin, ect... so it should be no surprise that such similarities can be found.

Gérard Begni Isn't it? Some chords are really out there.

Ja, es ist sehr gut.

Ja man

Haha, I see what you did there. Nietzsche!

"Guy Sacre dit que ces Valses sont les pièces préférés de l'esthète concernant le piano de Ravel" - c'est très intéressant, est-ce qu'il dit pourquoi?

Ravel was still dreaming. He thought he was working on La Valse.

Don’t they all?

Let me correct you (in a gentle way): D'où regardez vous cette vidéo ? From which nation are you watching the video? Supposing you're japanese? it's nice to know that people in the other side of the world are listening to Ravel, because of the different musical culture in Japan. Anyways, if you like it, that's nice! And, answering to your question, I'm from Spain.

@@user-gr5hi4um2u Sorry the very late my comment I'm sorry How is your great and invincible France ？ I'm interested in great genius Ravel and respect him . Mussorgsky's masterpiece is the supreme gift of genius Ravel . Ravel is the greatest arrangement's composer in the world . Be on the alert for Coronavirus infection ！ We must never endanger our life with Covid - 19 We must never lose our sense of crisis . I wish you a great and glory life Good luck ！

I'm italian haha

The owners of the recording put them there.

I would say it's a 6. It's by no means easy, but there are pieces that are technically way harder. Look at Gaspard de la Nuit, also by Ravel. It is one of the hardest pieces in the piano repertoire and you can see the technical differences to this one.

ok

Sigismond Thalberg en éntendant son piano concerto, on peut trouver que beaucoup d'éléments du jazz qui sont présents.

Sigismond Thalberg c'est bien connu que beaucoup de musiciens de jazz admirait les compositeurs "classiques". Erroll Garner, Art Tatum, George Shearing, Phineas Newborn Jr, John Lewis, Bill Evans, et Miles Davis, ont tous profondément etudié les accords et des fragments de Ravel, Debussy, Satie, Scriabin, Bartok, Liszt.. Qu'ils ont par la suite placé dans leurs morceaux. Quelques exemples seraient: Miles Davis qui incorpore du Rodrigo: Concerto de Aranjuez.. Errol Garner qui incorpore Debussy dans Reverie.

Postmodern Musical Sophist un beaucoup de musiciens de jazz étudié avec Darius Milhaud. Pardon mon français. Mon langue premier est anglais
