Doubt it's worse than his quasi-piano sonata Gaspard de la Nuit is for us pianists

I find this harmony utterly incomprehensible, but damn, Ravel's orchestration is masterful! It's amazing how many colors and textures he can evoke from merely two instruments

@kennethdower7425 11 ай бұрын

The harmony is not incomprehensible, it's just constantly shifting, and it's instrumentation, not orchestration. Of course Ravel has many colours and textures, he was a fucking genius, one of the all time greats. Seriously, better than most big name composers.

I understand what you mean by incomprehensible, but it's in such an amazing way!! It's almost like a Bach fugue that in its many layers can lose that secure feeling of vertical harmony. I'm amazed by the way Ravel's harmony in this piece flows.

@@kennethdower7425 Ravel is definitely considered one of the “ big name composers “. If he had lived longer , his harmonic language might have approached that of Florent Schmitt’s.

This is the first interpretation of this piece that makes sense to me. Beautiful.

The last movement reminds me a fair bit of Bartók’s string writing.

Un Ravel assez ardu, très loin de ses sompuosités orchestrales habituelles, mais passionnant, et magnifiquement servi par deux grands artistes.

It's a great shame that we don't see more of Ravel's sonatas of this type (apart from another one for piano and violin) forming a more substantial suite, akin to Beethoven's late five string quartets. These late works - absolutely enigmatic, experimental for their time; filled with harmonic, textural and structural surprises; yet simultaneously musically compelling - have always been exhilarating to me.

Timothy Zhou, it's not intelligible in terms of functional harmony, but I find it emotionally rich and resonant, and it tickles the sensation of the brain too. I wish I had the skill to create an accompanying animation, maybe with fractals.

The mysterious and cantabile "Lent" 3rd movement also reminds me of what Beethoven did in those slow movements of his final quartets (yes, I know that was long ago). And the 2nd movement is simply a percussive feast.

@dapr990 Жыл бұрын

The 1st movement was written in homage to Debussy, after his death. This was subsequently expanded into a four-movement sonata - perhaps in reference to the series of chamber sonatas that Debussy was writing towards the end of his life.

In addition, it is part of a larger set of works called "Le Tombeau de Claude Debussy" with works from a large number of notable musicians, other than Ravel, contributing, such as Satie, Bartok, and Stravinsky.
