    I’m obsessed with this piece of music, and this is my favorite RUclips performance of it by far. Brilliant technique + deep heartfelt emotion + intimate recording that makes it feel like you are sitting next to the performer looking over her shoulder. Bravo!

    I loved this! The musical joy in executing this was mirrored by the physical joy exemplified by your masterful movements. I’m inspired! Thank you.

    Thank you so much. This is so helpful. I'm working on Ondine right now and this gave me lots of helpful insights. Your interpretation is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.

    Your movements remind me a bit of Alicia de Larrocha's. :D I don't understand why people wouldn't play in a relaxed manner... I see so many of my peers getting tendinitis. Your approach is exactly the one I want to take in my piano teaching. :D
    I hope to see you in concert one day, cause you are an inspiration..!

    Thanks very much! Looks very helpful, and a beautiful interpretation. Will be studying this.
    Superb handling of the climax of the piece. Suppleness is part of the underlying tradition of this music. I’m sure Ravel would love your interpretation, despite his warnings about too much “over-interpreting”. That was directed at the old-school over-the-top piano virtuosos.

    Thanks so much for showing this, your playing is heavenly.
    This is the piece that pushed me to start playing the piano, this year.
    That initial C# chord with 5# on top was the first thing I tried to play.
    I'm 38 years old.
    I'll play one day. If not in this, in another life for sure.

    Ravel’s advice to Henriette Faure on aspects of sonority
    in ‘Ondine’:
    Work at the silkiness of your sounds, their fluidity, their smoothness, including the
    deimsemiquaver patterns of the right hand which should evoke a kind of rippling on the
    surface of a lake that extends into oblivion. Adjust the heaviness of your thumbs. What you
    do is too real. Refer to the works of Liszt e.g. Feux Follets.

    @Jonathan Po
    I actually play this with fingers instead of a gliss… Have you tried that? Much easier to control, to practise, and to get a really delicate sparkling sound. And no blisters! (Take notes 7-11 in the LH)

  • @anngrogan6343
    @anngrogan6343 2 года назад

    Do you teach online? Do you teach senior "amateurs?" Can some of these ways of creating tone and lightness be communicated to beginning-intermediate students or must I wait ten years or more? When will you come to San Francisco to play? I would come! How may I help that happen? You have to my ear, a very unique, floating tone and sound that is never harshly perfectionist. Thank you for your presentations!

    Hi, this was so helpful! Thank you so so much! I'm currently learning the piece and I'm having trouble with the build-up part towards the climax. Do you have any tips on practicing the right hand in that section? I'm struggling to make it sound not choppy and clear at the same time. Thank you so much! :)

    • @CordeliaWilliams
      @CordeliaWilliams 3 года назад

      @Lily Yang I don’t want to jump in but since she hasn’t replied yet… Have you tried breaking it into blocks, e.g. notes 1-3 of bar 57, then notes 4-7 etc. and practicing those as trills? Kind of like double note trills!
      You can also practise one voice of each block as a trill while holding the other voice down. And then practice chunks: notes 4-9, notes 12-17, notes 20-25 etc. etc. And then of course the whole bar with top RH voice only, then with lower RH voice only. Let me know if any of these work! (I hope it makes sense how I’ve written it, hard to describe without showing!)
      Wrist quite high, fingers loose. Good luck!
