I cant stop playing this piece!!
on: May 31, 2005, 10:14:39 PM
Any1 ever find a piece which is so beautiful and enjoyabe to play u sit down to practice it a couple of times but end up playing for an hour+?

I've just found this beauty - its the Ravel Sonatine.

The second "movement" is so enchanting, technically relatively easy but requires a delicate and precise touch.

I wish i was what i was when i wanted to be who i am now.

That happened to me with Jeux d'eau, I got through the first 3 pages, then it all sort of fell apart, never again will I touch that piece, well in a while that is...
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

That happens to me all the time, lately with Chopin's g minor ballade - just can't stop working on it.  Next thing I know it's been 3 hours!  Same thing happened with Beethoven's Appassionata, especially the last movement.  Really addicting stuff.

It's fun, isn't it?
So much music, so little time........

uh sorry i haven't got the music on PC.

Buy it lol u won't regret it!!!


The appasionata is too difficult to get addicted to lol i'd have to play it soo slowly when starting out.

I love Ravel's Sonatine.

I have a friend who plays it beautifully... she's won a good 3 compititions with it.

Do you have a recording of the sonatine?
Haven't heard it yet  :-[
And i luv Ravel's music! Especially Jeux d'Eau  ;D

I think that's one of the good things about music.. We're able to enjoy so much of the music we can't even stop  :) I often have that with Scriabin's music.. When I'm practicing I just don't wanna stop, it's too much fun  :) Lol..
