You keep the water in the air, light, bright and playful. It gets better with each listening. In style and tempo, it reminds me of a recording by E. Robert Schmitz a protégé of Debussy. I am very glad to have found this recording
with what are you struggling? The fingering? the 3 in the left hand against 4 in the right polyrhythm? I'm struggling right now too with the parts where you have to use pink then ring finger from like e to b for example because I rarely use the 4th finger. All I can say is learning fantaisie impromptu long ago helped me with the polyrhythm since it's the same
Beautifully played with a delicate touch, but I cannot feel that it potrays the different moods of water in its many disguises. In other words, I cannot equate this to how water reacts when used as the medium in a fountain, e.g. as drips, ripples, seduction, power, calmness.
I can agree with that on some parts, I think the dynamics need to connect perfectly in order to simulate the consistency of water. Although if it wasn't called jeux d'eau I wouldn't say anything because it's a good performance. I'm learning this right now and it's pretty hard to do what I just said but really fun
The trouble with my perspective, when listening to a performance, is that I always want even more!! It is a very good performance from the point of view of the piece being played on a piano for a pianist to demonstrate his abilities, but I want it to remind me of the different sorms water can take. For example, at 3'56'' I want the cadenza-like droplets to make me think of sun shining through them as they gradually fall from the lip of the bows of the fountain, beginning slowly and speeding up as more water enters the bowl. After the explosion at 2'58'' the water would be very turbulent, therefore the theme should begin fast and loud as it calms down towards the recapitulation. At 2'21'' the music should become more seductive as the water sprites come out to lure would-be sailors to their deaths. Good luck with your endeavours!! It is not an easy piece to play, but even harder to emulate the reactions of water when external forces, such as pumps, are applied to it!@@balladin9200
@@grumpyoldpianistplus I share your same vision in this piece, after learning chopin's etudes nicknamed ocean and torrent Ravel's jeux d'eau feels like the epitome of all the water pieces were every form of it comes naturally in one beautiful piece. I'm learning this in order to eventually play gaspard de la nuit well (my end goal and what inspired me to play piano), appreciate it
I wish you well with Gaspard: it is not only very difficult to play, but to try to get the emotion that Ravel was inspired with is on a much higher level. I recommend listening, on UA-cam, to the performance by Benjamin Grovesvenor.@@balladin9200
Amazing piece played brilliantly. You really do feel the movement of water.
Very beautiful! Thoughtful use of pedals. Perfect tempo.Bravo.
Großartig! So gedanken- und seelenvoll gespielt!

@@balladin9200 and also the jumps in the right hands its deadly
@@fanach true, I can't help you when I can't help myself, it's pretty hard

schöner klang, würde mir etwas gleichmäßigeres Tempo wünschen.
