Maurice Ravel - Ma mère l'Oye (for Piano 4-hands) (with Score)

He is one of the main impressionist composers and one of the best orchestrators of all times. This piece, Ma mère l'Oye, was composed in 1910 for piano 4-hands. In 1911, Ravel orchestrated the work.

13:03 this part really made me cry. It's like a person reaching out to you and finally holding you in thier arms, never letting you go ever again. Ravel will always be my favorite composer.

[@davidsheriff9274]

Yes, the Mother Goose Suit is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. If you can, check out the orchestral version by The Montreal Orchestra conducted by Charles Dutoit, the first time I listened to it I cried as well,the only other time in my life where I cried listening to music was Karen Carpenter, but that's a different story 😊.Ravel is my favorite too.

In my opinion, the fifth movement is one of the most beautiful pieces every composed for piano. Simplicity is everything

[@davidzorror.]

Que locura de pieza, con esa textura tan tan tan ligera lograr algo tan bello, al punto que te toca las fibras mas sensibles ... Una joya total

[@hansbjarning]

4:47. My favorite part of the piece. The most beautiful part in my opinion.

3:57 I like so much this part. It's so warm and kind

[@louis9579]

i also love the warmth of the semitones combined with fifths. there is a similar semitone + fifth harmony at the end of the 4th movement. there are many more throughout the piece.

Jussen brothers performance, I think... Their touch is unmistakable.

[@Mimi12350]

Par rapport à la version d’orchestre, le piano donne une atmosphère plus profonde. Surtout la 5ème partie : le jardin féerique 🤍🤍🌼🌻🥰🎶

This score is for piano duet, not 2 pianos.

[@classicalsheetmusic3472]

Thanks, you are right!

[@carryfreak5059]

I LOVED this piece. I played it with my first piano teacher ten years ago. It is SOOOO beautiful!

[@paulinseiler6685]

Autiste zgaig tu crois c pour clarinette et contrebasse?

[@Didi-pz2ty]

Pues no, existen partituras originales tanto para piano individual, como puano a 4 manos, para 2 pianos, o incluso para orquesta....

[@CamilleBraiki]

Thanks for sharing, this is so beautiful. Ravel is not an impressionist composer though…

[@uriahlegutki2257]

Well he sure gives the impression of Beauty and the Beast in Mvt IV!

[@lflagr]

1:02 the secondo part has a wrong note on the final eighth note! Should be B4, not Middle C

[@tallguym4m]

Good catch! Also, at 13:13 in the Primo part, 2nd note of triplet should be F# not D#. :)

[@nicolasaubert4248]

6:50 in primo part, D# or A# ?

[@lflagr]

@@nicolasaubert4248 Wow this edition is full of errors lol, that's definitely a D# i'm hearing in the recording
