Ravel: Ondine, take 2..

Ok.. This version is more accurate, but less flowing than the previous one.

I'll post it anyway since I won't be able to make recordings in at least two weeks now.

Ok, this is ssssssssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better, sadly i have never heard this music before, but am sure this is a better tempo. I think previously you were trying to make a point.
The climax was good.Well done.

yes. i like the clarity in this one better! and the speed is slower - which exposes more to light (and probably makes playing it harder than it is when played too fast).

This piece is hard no matter how slow you play it. The slower you play the more time you'll have to remember all the almost endless details..
