Ravel Pavane pour une infante défunte

[wzkit]

With a bit more time on my hands during lockdown, I recorded this recently on my Sauter. The piano unfortunately is slightly out of tune and the piano was sounding 'flabbier' than I would have liked, as it was a rainy day.
Nonetheless I hope you will give it a listen, despite some small slips

Hi Wzkit,

Nice job with the melody and tone control! I would play even louder during the fortissimo parts since most of the piece is very quiet, but that could just be the rain Thanks for posting, I enjoyed listening to it!

Thanks pianoannieq for your kind words. Tone control and voicing were two aspects I paid close attention to, and this piece is actually more awkward to play than it sounds. I do agree that the fortissimo bits should be louder, although I'm not sure it is partly due to the recording set up and mic placements.

Hopefully that means it had some impact.
