Ravel's tremolos
on: November 11, 2005, 10:03:07 AM
I've recently come to appreciate Ravel's music much more, for no reason in particular. I'm looking around for some of his solo works to learn - at the moment I've been looking at the Sonatine or Gaspard de la nuit. Anyone here who plays lots of Ravel have advice from experience? Maybe recommendations to a piece? I'll be discussing this at my lesson later this afternoon.
On the title topic: what technique works best for the repeated-note passages in Scarbo? E.g. the opening tremolos, and the scherzo-like motif on page 3 (D#-D#-D#-E-F#F#-F#-F#-F#-E-D#...)?
Thanks for reading this.

As a collection, I like
Miroirs
best: magnificent piano writing I think. Challenging too, of course...

So no one's played this I presume?
(still waiting for a fingering...)
