Which Ravel piece should I learn after Jeux d'eau?
on: August 09, 2012, 09:28:28 AM
Before three weeks I started learning Jeux d'eau. It's not giving me any trouble. I can manage it. Which Ravel piece should I learn after Jeux d'eau?
Please help me!
Now learning:
Mozart sonata no.11 in A major; Fantasy no.3 in D.
Mussorgsky - Pictures from an exhibition.
Bartok - Dances in Bulgarian rhytm.

Perhaps something of more different character? :) Miroirs are good, but the first (Noctuelles) or fourth (Alborada del gracioso) part might be better after more "watery" Jeux d'eau. ;)

How about something less impressionistic and more 'stable'. Pavane pour un infante defunt, A la maniere de Borodin or Minuet sur le nom de Haydn. Not as tehnically taxing as Jeux d'eau but very beautiful...

the Lucien Garban solo piano (2H) version of the string quartet is really beautiful. The scan on IMSLP is top notch too (very clean, well done, easy to ready etc)

I also like the string quartet. ;)

Any of the Miroirs I think would be good. Possibly the entire Sonatine? Ondine is a bit of a jump in my opinion. Valses Nobles et Sentimentales? Tombeau de Couperin? The toccata is pretty exciting.
Ravel Jeux D'eau
Brahms 118/2
Liszt Concerto 1
Rachmaninoff/Kreisler Liebesleid
