In the piece, one can hear Ravel exploring the sounds of Impressionism and finding his voice through his harmonies and approach to the color that the piano can achieve. This awareness of color and sound helps to bring the idea of "playing water" to life. On top of the score, Ravel...

Excellent - pleasure meeting you up at Tanglewood this summer after the Yuja wang concert at the tavern. Regards, obed
i feel texture of pollini
I want to learn this one on summer without my teacher to bring it to him, any tips on how to approach it and understand the movement? I am scared to practice it wrongly or to not be able to increase the speed of it
If I were a girl I would love you
I like this video❤
Excellent
Splendid playing, very clean and well articulated!
Nice. Reminds me vaguely of Dusapin and Ligeti etudes
Good
Amazing!!
Excellent performance! From 0 - 10 how hard this etude is?
Wow
aaaaaaahhhhh bravo et merci
promosm 💞
Dang. I have nothing else to say other than your playing is absolutely fantastic and incredibly beautiful. Well done.
Amazing !
Studying this right now! Absolutely love this performance, by far the best I’ve heard so far. Loved it!
That was really right man wd
Very well played, i am learning the piece right now. It is actualy very hard, for me at least :D
very nicely played
this channel is absolutely a hidden gem, especially of the modern pianistic exposure for non music major population. Cheers!
Really cool, you had me captivated from beginning to end.
Loved it!
Wow, amazing!
What piano is that and do you like it?
little late, but this is what Thomas told me in a comment reply previously when I had the same question. "It is the Cunningham Studio Grand (5'4"). It's a great instrument!"
WHAT PIANO IS THAT YOUR AMAZING!!!!!
What piano is that and is it good
Has to be German
its the 5’4” Cunningham Studio Grand apparently, and according to him it’s great.
@@dnuma5852 awesome
Супер,браво👏👏
Wow Amazing! Just before the coda there,s a pedalling I didn't like very much. The rest is really excelent!
cool
Oh la la ... nice playing . Talented !
wow Ravel was only 26 at the time of writing
❣️
Great interpretation Thomas. Perfect tempo. Too often I find people playing this etude too fast and frantic.
Marvelous performance, but I wish there was better audio!
Wow I think you’re the only person besides Dr Shijun Wang that blew my mind with this etude
I’m only just now stumbling across this video but you are phenomenal with explaining and breaking this down for me and I see this was only this past February. I instantly subscribed and I hope you have more videos for me to enjoy. A lot of us also obsess over La Campanella if you have any tips. Thanks and I hope you continue to upload new videos! I’m excited!
beautiful
Thank you!
Amazing work!!!
Thank you, Taichi, hope all is well with you!
Could you play Je te Veux?
Wonderful music played brilliantly! This gentleman is a bona fide Maestro.
The moment, in the end, I noticed that your hands got very shaky after hitting the last chord, I can see at that moment all the effort you put on this piece, great work!!
nice
Beautiful interpretation!
Could you play Liszt - jeux d'eau a la villa d'este? It's probably the earliest work of impressionism
Water music is always good
Phenomenal
This is wonderful
Thank you!! Nice job!
