Jeux d'eau - Ravel- need info

[lagin]

I also need some information on Ravel's Jeux d'eau.  I need to know what the meters are throughout.  I know it starts in 4/4 and goes to 2/4 and then goes back to 4/4, so far.  Does it continue to alternate these, or introduce others?   And I know the right hand consists of broken chords and arpeggios representing the fountains.  Surely lot's of you have played it.  Do you have anything to add?  Does it have many modulations or any at all?  Is it divided into sections?  I need to be able to write a brief paragraph on it, but I tried Google, but it just isn't the same as hearing someone who has played it describe it.  Thanks in advance!

as usual quite random, try posting in the rep sect next time to get more replies.

You might try looking at the score.

You're totally right, Stevie.  I should have put this in the Repertoire section.  The pieces I'm suppost to study for this test are usually not solo piano works so I stick the ones I need help with in here.  I completely forgot that this could go in the repertoire section since it is just piano.  Sorry about that. 

Yes, Ramseytheii, I would like to look at the score.  Your solution is probably the best there.  The problem is I don't have it, and I don't know where to find it.  If someone would like to point me to it, I'd be much obliged (sp.).

You can always check here at Piano Street  (though I did check and it's not available at this point).  But here is the link to sheetmusicarchive, and I wold suggest that you stow it in your favorites for future purposes.

Look under "Ravel" and you will find it there.

Has it? (And what has Don Diego de la Vega to do with it?)

[stevie]

possibly, maybe it did have, and randomly.
