Beautiful piece. Ravel's compositions speak with such beauty, grace and sensitivity; almost as though his sounds could be brushed upon an impressionist canvas.
@@erwinschulhoff4464 of pieces I’ve not heard too often? Scriabin Prelude Op. 17 No. 3. Of pieces that are more familiar, I think Schubert F minor impromptu D935 No. 1
Ravel is incredibly subtle. The glance back over his composer's shoulder to bygone periods - as here and, of course, in Le Tombeau de Couperin - but breathing into these earlier works a 20th century inspiration is pure genius. His sense of harmony and respect for the keyboard are unerringly perfect.
I think Debussy considered himself more symbolist like Malarme, Debussy was inspired by his poems and his style of write poems, debussy I think get beautiful music based on symbolism.
really nice. Bars 39 - 42 are incredibly hard to play. Eric Tran played it very quietly and I'm not sure that what he played is exactly in the sheet music I downloaded today. In any case, played with sensitivity. I'm going to have to play that middle part very slowly and one hand at a time. Very tricky, but interesting sound colours.
The Ravel and Debussy pieces were written about the same time for a Haydn festival held in Paris in (I think) 1910. They're quite different pieces of course, and Debussy's seems to me more playful.
The letter H represents B natural in the german system; A and D representing their respective pitches. "Y" and "N" doesn't have equivalent, but that letters if you repeat the notes in order, "Y" match with the note D and "N" match with the note G. I hope my explanation is understood, english is not my first language.
Matt JBM271828 If you cycle the notes 7 at a time (A B C D E F G) through the alphabet, next would be H I J K L M N. Notice that N is now in the place of G. Next comes O P Q R S T U. And then one more cycle gives us V W X Y Z, and we’re out of letters. Notice that Y is in the place of D. Hope that makes sense!
Because if The sequence of The alphabet continous with The note, Y it be a D, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y (la si do re mi fa sol la si do re mi fa sol la si do re mi fa sol la si do re)
@@nekocafe8420 ???? No! It's: A, B, C D E F G and the again A B C D E F G and then again A B C D E F G. Besides, in german It Is: A H C D E F G=LA SI DO RE MI FA SOL! B in Germany is: B flat!
He certainly had some jazz in him if his Piano Concerto for the Left Hand is any indication. But, in this piece, there seems to me nothing remotely "jazz-like" about it.

Ravel was such a cutie. Great piece
fancy seeing you in the comments section again :)
@@justinzeitlinger1506 Hahahah hello friend
You say that now, but Ravel was 5’3 and died single (and potentially a virgin).
@@enpassant1014 Doesn't mean he wasn't a cutie :)

Thank you - that makes me happy to hear!

This is a great interpretation. Thanks for all of the new ideas.
Great performance. I strongly suggest everyone to share this video for players in level of educated, or just for listening.
Beautiful recording, Eric. Bravo!
Thank you so much!
Ravel is becoming my favorite "impressionist" musician
Always preferred his Neo-classical approach to impressionist harmony more than Debussy. But love them both, of course.
@@magnuscroify agree!
Ravel would have hated you for saying that lol
Same

Pense num Compositor que traduz em sons de extrema beleza e perfeita leveza, tudo que se propôs a criar!! 🎶🎶🎶
Such a lovely piece of music. Learning it right now along with Holst Venus for Piano.

Wonderful playing!!
yes, indeed!
What a sweet performance of yours!
Thank you so much :)

Beautifully played.
Thanks for listening! :)

amazing!!!! so nice! I loved it.

Really well composed there
Of course!
See you Haydn ("ndyaH") at 1:07 ?
sound like nyah from anime xd
@@Damian_Stefann Except when the character tries saying it they get hit by something in the stomach
What's happening @1:22 ? Great vid thanks !
It’s just easier to write on three staves

Debussy's hommage a Haydn is also good
What’s it called
@@maxiapalucci2511 literally “hommage a Haydn” 😂
@@maxiapalucci2511 "Debussy's hommage a Haydn" lol which part are you missing

How is Y - D and N - G?
Someone let me know plz
When cycled through the alphabet, letters like H, Y, or N can correspond with particular musical notes
@@tillietillie7 Oh, interesting. Thank you.
Ravel
ok
ravel always kills me with his genius misic, even though he died.
Why are "y" and "n" notes? What note system has such letters?
That s what I was gonna ask. I dunno whete H came from either.
@@GaleRianes H is b natural according to German nomenclature of notes
How do you get so many views in 3 years? I share everything I post on all platforms and get like 200 views in 2 years :) Great work.
I am learning this piece without benefit of a teacher. How the heck do you practice those trills?
How did it become Haydn?
I’m confused. So why were those particular notes (B A D D G) chosen to represent Haydn???
The letter H represents B natural in the german system; A and D representing their respective pitches. "Y" and "N" doesn't have equivalent, but that letters if you repeat the notes in order, "Y" match with the note D and "N" match with the note G. I hope my explanation is understood, english is not my first language.
Beautiful and lovely piece.
But one question: Why Y for D and N for G(or D on a sheet of upside down)?
Matt JBM271828 If you cycle the notes 7 at a time (A B C D E F G) through the alphabet, next would be H I J K L M N. Notice that N is now in the place of G. Next comes O P Q R S T U. And then one more cycle gives us V W X Y Z, and we’re out of letters. Notice that Y is in the place of D. Hope that makes sense!
Oh I see! Thanks for your explanation!
@@EricTranPiano In other words, Y mod G = D
Why is H in place of B then? 😢 With that logic H should be A
@@Nathan_DelannoyIn the standard German notation B is "B flat" and H "B natural"
와 진짜 너무 좋다..
This piece oddly sounds like Bill Evans
I've heard that a lot---especially the opening few bars...
Debussy also did one of these
0:10
Really stretching it there
Why is Y=D(re)?
Because if The sequence of The alphabet continous with The note, Y it be a D, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y (la si do re mi fa sol la si do re mi fa sol la si do re mi fa sol la si do re)
@@nekocafe8420 ???? No! It's: A, B, C D E F G and the again A B C D E F G and then again A B C D E F G. Besides, in german It Is: A H C D E F G=LA SI DO RE MI FA SOL! B in Germany is: B flat!
@@ishtar2848 No man, if it would be like that, we comback to your question, why Y is D (re) answer that
@@ishtar2848 read the description on video.
@@nekocafe8420 ups, thank You very much 🙏 Now it's clear!👍
I'm learning this piece. May I ask.... Are the temp changes intentional?
i think so, because there are not so many of 'em in the original, for the interpretation, you know, etc.
👏
Ravel haydn
Franz Joseph Ravel oder Maurice Haydn.

what is haydn mean? is this mean composer? Am i know right?
hi 2 space. you are right, joseph haydn is the name of famous composer (XVIII century)
This confirms my theory that Ravel was a jazz composer.
He certainly had some jazz in him if his Piano Concerto for the Left Hand is any indication. But, in this piece, there seems to me nothing remotely "jazz-like" about it.
@@thomasthompson6378 First chord is a major 7th ;)
@@yannicksamson4772 does using maj7 make you jazz composer? Interesting indeed
he's still a classical composer, but was heavily inspired by jazz, his works being a mix of many styles. He knew gershwin, and a great example of his jazzy elements is in the climax of ondine, where it is compared to giant steps, a jazz piece with endless modulation
The style and harmony pre-dates jazz. Jazz is more about the swing, creative soloing, although some kinds of jazz use this kind of harmony.
