RAVEL, Maurice

Sonatine for piano

I. Modéré (doux et expressif)

Mikhail Voskresensky, guest professor

Juan Pérez Floristán, student

For this movement of the Ravel's Sonatine, prof. Voskresensky advises to repeat. The fist theme was very good, but it must be well balanced, it has a very sad character.
The professor makes some comments about doing sound changes regarding the harmonic changes of the music, not too much accelerando, the use of the half-pedal, the right moment to play rallentando and other tempo indications.
