Ravel began composing what later became known as his Sonatine when the Anglo-French magazine Weekly Critical Review conducted a competition for the first movement of a piano sonata. He was at an advantage with a unique style that gave him the ability to take the traditional sonata form, which had come to a "dead end" during the second half of the nineteenth century, and bring life to it by avoiding pitfalls and clichés. When the magazine went bankrupt, Ravel added two more movements to his competition piece, and thus completed his Sonatine. Representative of his first formative period, the work is bright and clear, and only gently touches the listener's emotions. Using fluidity, light coloring, and the intervals of the fourth and fifth as unifying features, the work is written using primarily the three middle octaves of the piano. Ravel was known for his tightly written pieces and Sonatine was no exception; it easily reminds one of the refined objets d'art of the eighteenth century. The opening Modéré-doux et espressif -- is written in strict sonata form, has a first theme around the tonality of F sharp minor, a second around D major and B minor, and a development section of intense excitement. The second movement -- Mouvement de menuet -- is an uncomplicated minuet in D flat, which flowers in its final measures. The work closes with virtuoso writing marked Animé. Moving nervously between 3/4 and 5/4, waves of music pour forward with a few horn calls in the left hand. When on June 16, 1904, the first movement of the Sonatine was performed for its dedicatees Cipa and Ida Godebski (Ma Mère l'oye was dedicated to their children), it was very well received, and when the full work was given by Paule de Lestang on March 10, 1906, under the patronage of the Lyon Revue musicale, enthusiasm was so great that Durand put it into immediate publication.

Now that you've mentioned it, the white noise is quite prominent but I hadn't really given it attention in the many times I've listened to this recording.
Paul, where in the world did you come across recordings of Ravel himself playing his pieces? That’d be so incredible to hear! But you said he had tempo issues? I’ve heard here and there that I guess he composed his pieces better than he could play them, but don’t quote me on that. 🤷🏻♀️
Trying to play the first movement, even as a post grade 8 pianist is kind of like trying to translate hyroglofics at times. Difficult to comprehend the mans genius.
Ravel experienced too many horrors in his life to write anything more than occasional romantic style beauty, but he had occasional moments when he was capable of feeling of pure heart again.
@@stefanoferlaino1895 No, his life was marked with tragedy, infact he enjoyed the first world war, acting as a lorry driver. He was said to be indifferent about praise or criticism and was machine like when composing music.

Hmmm, Stravinsky seems to be more neo-classical than Ravel (see his Symphony in C major and his Violin Concerto for example). However, Ravel was something of a ecletic, since he used to write many pieces paying a tribute to old forms and dances.

The information about the composer says he died in 1935; in fact, Ravel died in 1937.

Something about this piece is so nostalgic.
saw this piece performed live recently, actually with an orchestra instead of the piano, and it was just as beautiful, an amazing experience
The background static is actually really welcome if you've got tinnitus like me and find it hard to enjoy piano music.
Now that you've mentioned it, the white noise is quite prominent but I hadn't really given it attention in the many times I've listened to this recording.
Damn I didn't even hear it until I read your comment. Tinnitus sucks.
Idk if I have tinnitus but I enjoyed this subtle addition to the recording
Fantastic composition. Beautiful

My bestfriend loves this piece. Thank you!
I've learned the first and second movement, but I'm so scared to start the third😭😟😫 wish me luck
Wow, really beautiful! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder why he plays G naturals at 8:42. The score I have matches this one in calling for G sharps. Is Gulda playing from a different score?
Oui, c'est étrange !

Paul best Ravel I believe once said that he didn’t need people to interpret his music, just people to play it.
Nic B
I think Ravel did say that at one point. It seems familiar, like I heard it from somewhere else recently.
@@nicb4589 Which is nonsense, because playing music always means interpreting it.
Damn Sonic, you're going so fast, which is a fine artistic choice by me I guess, it kind of works at some points

Sonatine? It's a joke or not?
This should be a sonate, not a sonatine
Ravel called it sonatine
@@notnipneb2810 But it very difficult to play, and a sonatine should be relatively easy to play
@@p.g.wallychopin There isn't really a clear distinction between a Sonate and a Sonatine, but imo this is way too short to count as a full Sonate
The only reason it’s called a sonatine is because of its short length, not the difficulty of the piece
Yes. Ravel's sign was ♓ so he was modest.

@@dacoconutnut9503 Yeah, Ravel wrote in lots of different styles. Take for example Tzigane, which basically sounds like if Paganini was a Spaniard.
People also say Schoenberg is neo-classical (I agree with that). At the end of the day, it's just a label put together to make it easier referring to a trend that was happening of that time, and not that it must be anyhow related to Mozart or smth.
