Your extensive knowledge of music theory and music history paired with the ability to analyze musical pieces is amazing! I loved your re-writing of a phrase from this piece, that was a great illustration. Now I better understand what "French" sounding music is, which I previously recognized instinctively. I think, the beautiful music of Michel Legrand has a certain "French flavor" and Debussy's influence, "Summer of 42" as an example. The performance is flawless, as always - bravo, Cole!
Heaven! Thank you so much, Cole, for this exquisite performance of Debussy's 'Rêverie' and the fascinating analysis you provided beforehand. I just love the sound paintings Debussy created from his earliest to the last compositions. This gem, with its gentle ebb and flow of a dream-like melody with shimmering dissonances always conjures in my imagination beautiful French landscapes I have been privileged to visit on many holidays. But I was shocked to discover that Debussy had a very different opinion about this music when it was published by Fromont: “I regret very much your decision to publish Rêverie. I wrote it in a hurry years ago, purely for material considerations. It is a work of no consequence and I frankly consider it to be no good!” Those of us who love this composition would strongly beg to differ . . . and I struggle to forgive Claude for declaring the work to be "no good". Sacré bleu - c'est magnifique!
I’ll never thank you enough for Introducing me to the Impresiones Intimas by Mompou! Those and his other major piano works have left a lasting impact on me.
I had the pleasure to me mompou in a clinic in Barcelona years ago his wife ,Carmen helped arrange this in a Barcelona hospital .love his vocal Piece ,Aquesta .I really have to praise the kindness of Marta Villavecchia fir the introductions
Wonderful performance! Amazing coincidence that I just started learning this piece last week. Your analysis really helps. Also funny enough, Chopin's first waltz (op. 18) is one piece I distinctly remember from early childhood.
Great as always! Just a remark, I - V/V is commonly seen in Chopin pieces, Op 37 No 1 Nocturne g minor comes into my mind for example (in the middle section).
