Trying to learn this piece. Quite a challenge with small hands. Lots of jumps and stuff but it's such a brilliant work
You can do it!
I practiced and got up to the 2:33 mark but the part after that is too much for me😔
I’ll come back to this piece one day once my skills has improved
Imagine blaming small hands.
@@oldaccount1313 hes not blaming anything, just saying that makes it harder
@@oldaccount1313 it’s harder with small hands
Ravel was a brilliant composer and his music is simply beyond my understanding.
it's transcendental
I have a headache analyzing this. This is just maddening really.
@@sorrychangedmyusername3594 yeah! You just have to feel it and be very intuitive about it to make sense of it. If you use your head too much it’ll just feel painful. But when listening with your heart, I think Ravel’s music is unmatched!
@@sorrychangedmyusername3594 yeah I’m wondering how those chords work together and why and I’m really dissecting everything way too much🤣
same i hate it
I am Japanese. I loved "Jeux d'eau" played by my seniors.
But my senior has graduated, and I can't hear his "Jeux d'eau".
When I heard this performance, I remembered that senior.
Thank you for your wonderful performance.
such a sweet comment! :)
i hope you're doing well in life
You’re welcome
@@carolineranierino way it’s ravel back from the dead, varyk and his senior at the same time
@@balladin9200 Wat
@@carolineranieri Thank you
I attempted this before but struggled with it, felt twisty and hard to get the notes even. Really amazing work!
Hey The Flaming Piano! Thanks for commenting on my video! I discovered your channel before starting mine!
Omg it’s you!!!!!
Flaming piano!!!!
BRILLIANT!!!! More Ravel ! You play him extraordinary!!
The way you move your hands at 6:02 is genius. I've been trying to do the fast notes with my right hand only. I'm gonna steal that technique lmao
Totally agree!! It’s much easier than using the right hand only. I’m copying it too haha
The ways the hands glide across each individual note, not leaving anything untouched is very erotic
i dont wanna burst your bubble but these hands are animated lmao
@@HedonesInk no it's not
@@trungnhanpham7694 yeah they are lmao
I’m such impressed with this piece only being level 4/10 for ravel. Truly a French artist on a composition like this.Even brought water back to life.
Yeah but that’s mostly because of Gaspard de la Nuit tbh. That piece is truly devilish like the name implies. Honestly Jeax d’eau remindes me of Ondine in some ways, it kinda has that fluidity, but is distinct and different in its own way.
My absolutely favorite way of playing Jeux d’eau ! Honestly I always thought that I have no chance to learn this composition . But because of your beautiful way of playing it, I started learning. It’s about two months since I started playing it step by step every day for 1 hour, learned just about 1/3, able to follow your speed. Probably will take me almost a year to learn the whole thing. I have no education in playing piano, but feeling so excited to learn playing by following you. Thank you so much for a motivation !
Nice! How’s it going?
@@Anonymous-wj6bu wonderfully, I can show you a video if you want. Started taking piano classes after learning this piece))
@@kailim3631 Oh that’s pretty good to hear! If it’s not too much bother, I would be interested in seeing a short video or so.
May you continue to progress well!
Hi Kai! Are you still taking piano classes?
@@petarus not as often as I'd love to but yes. Though I had to start from very basic things and progressing slowly
I keep on getting the "simply piano" advertisement in front of this video as if it made sense that you’d be the target audience when ur learning an expert level ravel piece xD
wait, you're actually learning the pieces with those videos ?
@@SashaL_music yes learning from these synthesia style videos is how most self taught pianists learn. It's actually pretty much the same as sheet music, fingering from the video, dynamics and pedal by ear, and the notes themselves are way more easy to understand than black dots on a piece of paper, as you can see the person pressing that key and it lights up showing the note
@@Just_a_Piano_ you know I'm myself a self taught pianist which started with this kind of videos, and let me tell you that after using sheet music and midi videos, I'm sticking with sheet music FOREVER. It's the way music is written and if you want your pieces to have a chance to be remembered, you have to use sheet music. It's actually a very understandable system once you study it, although it can be hard for a beginer
@@SashaL_music I remember everything I've learned, if you forget a piece you could also go back to the synthesia you learned it from, it's basically the same thing, you get just about everything from a synthesia video as you would sheet music
@@Just_a_Piano_ have you tried to learn hard pieces with synthesia and managed to play it well ?
This is now a piece i listen to everyday because its so relaxing and calming. keep up the good work! :)
Thanks Jenny! It is such a beautiful piece :) More Ravel will be uploaded!!!
Wow. Just fucking wow. Words can’t describe just how brilliant this is - both Ravels composition and your mastery of it. Tone, touch, timing. Perfect. Please send us more!
What a great compliment! Thank you so much :)
Ravel was a brilliant composer and I believe he is so under rated.
@@jackaguirre8576 I agree!
@@jackaguirre8576 everybody only Knows his bolero but this is on another level
This video is what inspired me to learn this piece! I used jeux d'eau, among other pieces, to get accepted into musical studies and get to continue working towards my dreams. Thank you for making this piece look so easy haha
I can play Ravel's Une Barque L'Ocean and Chopin's Etudes, but this piece is on another level of difficulty. The fingering is so unconventional.
Every piece has its own set of difficulties :)
@@Varyk True, even the simplest of Classical music should not be underestimated
I can play this
But when I asked for my teacher for play Une barque sur l'océan, he said that it was too difficult for me now
@@andantino5558 I am actually like 90% with perfecting Jeux Deau after about 6 months of grinding. I still think Une Barque is slightly easier.
All of Chopin's etudes?! Wow. I would have thought Jeux d'Eau to be easier than some of the etudes (like Op. 10. No. 1).
I used to be a huge Stravinsky fan-and I still am-but Ravel was the greatest composer of the last century and more. His music is a wonder, especially when played on the piano. Brilliant!
This sounds like a water temple in a Zelda game. Well, they sound like this. Love it
That must be why I like this song so much haha, I completely agree
@Raged Gamer out of curiosity what’s the difference between a song and a piece?
@Raged Gamer ah okay, thanks for the explanation!
The music from the Zelda series in general seems inspired to a great extent by Ravel, nevermind the fact that Bolero was the first choice for game's main theme back when it's first entey was about to come out for the NES. Really, I hear Ravel in almost every game from A Link to the Past to Breath of the Wild.
I wish I could find resources that could prove this to be more than just my opinion, but I have yet to find any.
Whoever composed Zelda ocarina of time ost a had very strong ravel influences. You're not wrong, it is crystal clear to me. In fact I fell in love with Ravel production pretty much instantly ;)
Ravel was a total genius this piece is extremely addictive but also very difficult you make it sound easy congrats
6:02 my fav spot
I always request this from Rosseau but you did it! This is my favorite piece from Ravel. 🙂
My favorite piece by Ravel too :)
@@Varyk mine is Ondine :)
man ravel was a fucking genius
I raise my hat on this performance! BRAVO!
Its like magic sparkling glittering stars in the sky like Harry potter
Beautiful artistry! This has long been one of my favorite piano pieces to listen to. Well done!
Absolutely beautiful. One of the most beautiful piano pieces delivered with perfect execution.
This is absolutely fabulous!!! Brava and Merci Beaucoup!!!
You've split the notes between hands in certain passages in interesting ways. I'm learning this piece right now and you've given me a lot to try out. I think you've resolved some of the tricky hand crossing movements quite well.
nice one bro, absolutely love your interpretation! You bring out all the notes clearly❤
Ravel, my favourite composer
Great job. Ravel is one of my very favorite composers.
And I'm not saying his pieces aren't tough to play--they are--but I think the real issue, for me, is they are very tough to read. All the crossing hands and such always throw me a bit for a loop. Once you get it a few times and get the idea, it's doable physically, but I'm not a great reader, and that part just confuses me sometimes.
That being said, this piece is still well ahead of my level playing wise too.
This piece captivates me. (Many of Ravel's works do that.) I will play it someday!
This is one of the most enjoyable renderings of Ravel's Jeux d'eau that I've ever heard. Not too fast, not too slow, and the overall rhythmic sense seemed right to me. Nice work. Thanks. Thumbs up and subscribed. Do you do Debussy's Hommage a' Rameau?
Absolutely incredible!!!
Finally I manage to finish this hellish piece. Your video is a nice reference. Thank you!
Bravo! Chapeau!
An absolute amazing piece one of my favourites very good job to you
God this is gorgeous. I've been tinkering with this one for a while....MAN is it hard. Awkward fingerings and hand positions all over the place, and it all goes by so fast. Definitely stretching the limits of my technique. Anyway, bravo. Beautiful playing and animation.
Have you considered doing Debussy's etudes?
Of course! I will upload some more Debussy at some point!
Wow that felt like an adventure
You deserve more subs (:
Beautiful playing! For the past few days I've been listening to numerous compositions by different composers and would really appreciate if you played more of Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Chopin. Thank you💖
Thanks for the recommendation! I will make sure to include some of those composers soon! :)
im not sure where I was just taken to, but I like it. maybe a side step into another dimension, what a strange, yet pleasent place to be. I should be more carefull, i might not come back next time. Stellar work on this piece.
This is my favourite piece of all time. Love it! 🎵
Hi Varyk! Only for curiosity, why you don't use/post something at Instagram and Twitter?
Btw Beatiful performance! Congratulations!
Yes I am working on it! Thanks for the tip!
E exatamente como me falaram, gotas de agua em uma chuva que se intensifica com o tempo e amainasse. Lindo, excelente.
This piece is often played super fast, I find; but I believe it is played best like this, where the waves of the pictured water have time to register in the listener's mind as actual waves of water. The little part at 4:25 consisting of many droplets should also be played so that we have enough time to feel like we are immersed in a rain. I complement you for being the first in several years I've seen do this well. The technical skill required to play this piece is considerable regardless of how fast it is played; but if you make me hear water, feel as if waves are bumping my hands, etc., you win in my mind.
But nope. There's a recording from Ravel where he played super fast. Probably the fastest version I've ever heard...
Beautiful.
Thats my favorite music
Stunning!
this gives me sea sick. impressive.
Absolutely beautiful piece, and amazing rendition!
Absolutely beautiful!
wow, i really like the slow tempo!
Incredible piece;)!
Ooh very nice work. Sounds beautiful!
Thanks Ayham! I love the sound of this composer :)
Varyk same here. Ravel’s a fantastic composer. Similar to debussy in some aspects, though the calibre required to tackle most of Ravel’s pieces is generally far higher than what you need to tackle most of Debussy’s pieces, which most late-intermediate / early advanced pianist can easily manage a few of, whilst a lot of ravel’s pieces are of course notoriously difficult, but often with similar, beautiful impressionist melody lines, like Debussy.
Once again, wonderful performance! This is a tough piece and you handled it very very well.
@@ayhamshaheed7740 yeah I thought Debussy was easy until i looked at his etudes....I now think otherwise
@@derekpintozzi2498 haha same here nvm ignore what i wrote above
😂
You're incredible. You literally hypnotized me! 😮 That was my face all along
You can really feel the madness in this piece
learning this too, I see you opted out of some of the hand crossings
Great piece and awesome playing! gj and i wonder what is your piano model?
goosebumps performance
How tf have I not seen your channel?!?! Your channel needs to get out there, you need more views! I'm subscribing and I'm gonna show this to all my friends and spam them content from your channel through text to get them to subscribe!
Thank you so much!! :)
awesome
I must say, Ravel's pretty good in using black keys and also A0
Awesome ! I love Ravel. Very well done
Hey thanks a lot! Great compositions by the way :)
Just beautiful thank you
Thank you :)
specially being one of the pieces with a very light atmosphere its a beautiful piece and must be hard to play
I really loved it!
wow, good job
I beg to differ, I believe this was a BRILLIANT JOB
Amazing!!
0:34 crazy cheat!
WWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful.How long have you been practicing to even try and approach this piece??
Thanks! Actually, I have learned this piece many years ago. So it is a bit hard to say how much I have practiced!
perfection
🤌
So satisfying…
I just can’t get enough:(😔😳
Keep it up dude!
im learning this piece right now. i have a keyboard that supports midi, how do i make videos like this? great performance by the way
I especially loved 6:32 it was very beautiful. It reminded me of my childhood and I shed a tear.
@Baryk I have a question for you. How long did it take you to learn this melody?
Amazing job. I am starting this, but will i ever finish😂
The part at 2:35 is so confusing
1:48 isn't this part supposed to be crossing? Anyway, great performance!
Yeah lmao he does some things to make it easier but its still the same
I often change fingerings and hand crossing to make it more comfortable. I learned that piece a long time ago with the original hand crossings, but I have changed it over the years. Now, I feel like doing hand crossings just because it's written in the score is rather superficial. It doesn't add anything to the music!
@@Varyk Someone recently told me its for voicing, since the left hand is usually weaker
i like the pace, not too fast or slow. one thing is it wouldve been better if you sustatined the melody for better phrasing in the part before glissando. how its written allows you to keep your pinky on the melody and still do chromatic scale with the other fingers.
Good idea! I'll think about it :)
What's the name of the tool? I want to buy it.
Synthesia
noIce
Amazing job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!! :)
Zelda get inspired on this for BOTW sure ❤
Love your tempo...not crazy fast so we can hear all those sweet, juicy harmonies that Ravel is famous for.
very juicy indeed🤤🤤🍑🤪😳
Отличноявзалеслушаю музыку
واو
An ad I don’t actually mind
那么好听怎么能不催更呢٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
Lovely sound. Is this on a acoustic piano?
uhhhhhh what’s an acoustic piano
👍
I want to marry anyone who can play this
is there a polyrhytm somewhere?
do you wanna play another Jeux d'Eaux??? if yes send me your e-mail

1:49 - 6:03
*You should make a playlist called: Classical so it would be easy to find the music...*
*Request:*
• Piano Sonata No. 32 by Ludwig Van Beethoven
Yup, I will do this! Thanks for the tip!
I can hear the music of water..
here from "this boy in class"
wow I think this is better than martha argerich. the notes are *clearer*.. and certain phrases are more well defined
It is not
@@monkeycover9205 some of martha's notes are not very clear. could just be limitations of the acoustic piano itself
Is it pisno sloo sir ?
