    RUclips, it's been a while! Things have been pretty crazy in my life recently so I haven't been able to upload as much as I'd like, but I'm hoping that will change soon.
    This piece is one that I started learning many years ago and is an absolutely gorgeous piece of music. Ravel's Jeux d'eau (or "water games") is the piece in question-what a work of art! The genius of this music lies partly in the ingenuity of the textures he used to evoke water and partly in the gorgeous harmonies and breadth of characters throughout the piece. It's definitely not easy to play, but it's worth the effort in the end.
    Stay tuned for more content very soon!

    Lovely playing of this famous water piece for piano. You make all the tricky passagework sound so easy/transparent. Bravo man!

  • @TheFlamingPiano
    @TheFlamingPiano 3 года назад +42

    Wow, amazing work! Very flowy and clean, and you were able to bring out the color and watery feel! This is insanely difficult indeed, fingers tend to slip and hit neighbor notes, and musicality has to be perfect while playing fast.

    'Water-play', YUP, I can see this as the backdrop to one of the grandest water fountains of the world! The sheet music for this must look insane. I'd have to hear this over and over again to even BEGIN absorbing this into my psyche, 'kind of like staring at a fine impressionistic painting to admire each brush stroke. I can see this as being a semester-long study project for someone accomplished (like you.) This was NO JOKE! EXCELLENT work! Thank you for blessing us with such beauty and sharing such talent.❤

    Sounds a lot like a piano piece Debussy would write (I hear quite a bit of Claire Du Lune in this) only this is a lot more difficult and complex than anything I’ve heard from Debussy.
    Ravel was just godly.

    • @kuuderepiano2988
      @kuuderepiano2988 3 года назад

      Ravel has a more jazzy sound to it
      Debussy's work sounds calm, yet experimental

    • @tanishksinha849
      @tanishksinha849 3 года назад +1

      Well both were French, and Maurice Ravel was himself influenced by Claude Debussy

    • @harrys2331
      @harrys2331 Год назад

      Lol Debussy made some crazy stuff too. Clair de lune or abarasque are no where near his most difficult pieces.

    • @stravinskyfan
      @stravinskyfan 9 месяцев назад

      Debussy's Etudes is way more complex than this

    When you play it it looks sooo easy! LOL
    Are your hands 10 keys?
    Let me guess on your answer in the comments.
    Playing the piano for 20 years practising this piece took about 2 weeks performer level ready.
    Took 1 hour to undust it for playing it this time. :)

    Congrats! You didn't cheat nor omit some notes, played everything he wrote. *BUT* I gotta say a thing or two. First of all, this is not the _insanely difficult_ piece by Ravel. Try Gaspard de la Nuit, Miroirs, Le Tombeau de Couperin, La Valse or even Valses Nobles et Sentimentales, or even Menuet Antique for god's sake! Also, I only heard mezzoforte and maybe a tiny bit of forte in your playing. Yet there are plenty of pianissimos and a fff right on the tremolo with the fermata lunga. Besides, personally, I prefer a more effective approach. you know Ravel was a huge admirer or Liszt and has the essence of Liszt quite a lot in is piano works, especially in Jeux D'eau. So why not pay our respects to Liszt. And instead of the Beethoven like articulation, I would rather go with a more foggy approach.

    @DrReinardReihnart Год назад

    Insanely difficult, but in my opinion this piece apart from little segments doesn't sound that beautiful. Not because your playstyle, because of its composition in general, too many up and downs for my taste.
    Anyway, well played as always.
