Starting to play Ravel Piano Music
on: May 30, 2011, 03:28:03 PM
I love Ravel's Music, after listening to Gaspard de la nuit I checked out a score online and was devastated to find that its very difficult to play... Any suggestions for pieces on manageable Ravel piano pieces?

Thanks :)

Try Menuet sur le nom de Haydn.   :)

His Sonatine is not too bad either!

Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte is another (very beautiful melody too)... Ravel doesn't write easy music though! How difficult are we talking? Jeux D'eau is a favourite of mine which is much easier than Gaspard de la nuit but still quite difficult ;D

1st and 2nd movements aren't bad, but the 3rd movement is not easy at all.
