Posts in the piano forum about this piece by Ravel:
I have tried this piece both with and without pedal, with pedal it occasionally becomes too blurred, whatever I do. Without, it sounds way too dry.
The copy I have doesn't have any pedal markings on it, but every recording I have heard has pedal.
I'm confused, and I was after thoughts on what you do, or what you would do.
Thanks a lot. |
| does anyone have a suggestion for fingering of Ravel's Pavane in measure 61 and measure70? thanks doreenh |
In posting all of the Ravel character pieces previously, somehow I had overlooked the Pavane, so here it is. The earlier postings were the Menuet Antique, Menuet sur le nom de Haydn, Prelude pour Piano, A la maniere de... Emmanuel Chabrier, and A la maniere de... Borodin.
The [i]Pavane[/i] was composed in 1899 and published by Eschig in 1900. It is dedicated to the Princess E. de Polignac, an important patroness of the musical arts in Ravel's time. The first performance was given by Ravel's friend, Ricardo Vines, on April 5, 1902 for the Societe Nationale de Musique at the Salle Pleyel in Paris.
Update: I deleted the CD cut (104 downloads) and replaced it with the original tape recording which has better fidelity. |
