Ravels valses nobles et sentimentales is such an amazing set of pieces, one of my favourite! Each waltz has so much character, and the final waltz is such an amazing conclusion with its references to the earlier waltzes, so reflective….
All the way from the title to this first episode, I can tell that this will be a lovely ride! I'm a 15 year old looking to be a classical pianist and you are such a mentor to me, giving me insight with all your unique approaches to music. Thank you for sharing, Tiffany!
I love your videos where you're indulging a distraction, then suddenly start to play, and then provide your thoughts on it. It's something I relate to and find myself doing; usually more monologuing than playing. It's why I subbed; a unique personal perspective on the individual behind and at the piano!
Really looking forward to this series Tiffany - you’re such a big inspiration for me, I look up to you a lot! Thanks for inspiring me to create my own TH-cam channel :)
How exciting: between the concert programs, album release, and touring. The BTS is so fun for us music nerds truly. Thank you and have fun with all these projects!!!!!!
Yay for a new series! It has been a long two days (just busy), and your videos are always such a mental palette cleanser. Also yay for finding new foods to enjoy (ok, maybe that is to be decided on cheese, but yay for still exploring). I am very much looking forward to your upcoming concert here in Michigan. I hope the Michigan weather is getting most of the snow out of its system now so that everyone will have a nice time traveling when the time comes. Thank you for sharing, and take care.
Ma belle pianiste, as it takes a lot of perseverance and ... cheese, smile, to prepare a concert! I find so much that you have a beautiful sensitivity to play the French repertoire, Ravel, Debussy. Bonne chance !
Nice to see you play Ravel - one of my favourite composers and I just never get bored with his fantastic Piano Music. - And by the way what Piano do have now - is it an old Steinway ?
Discipline is half of life, and you definitely have that, in addition to your unique talent, to be the world's best pianist and to stay that way for a long time. 🥰
You´re so natural stylish, when I watch your videos or your feed I want to watch an indie movie, listen music or take a bath and go for a coffe, I like it!
Describing Ravel's music as akin to cheese is such an apt comparison. It's an acquired taste that grows on you as you uncover its nuances, until one day, it just clicks, and you realize you truly love it and there's no going back. You know I already love Ravel's funky music, but as a cheese lover, I welcome you to the world of cheese and wish to see a fellow enthusiast emerge in you as well. 🧀🥖 Indeed, I find it interesting that you turned things on their head this time by being transparent on the album from the onset which is quite a contrast to your previous one. Also, I love the new style of this vlog. It seems you're keen on rocking the boat and ruffling some feathers along the way. 😉🌊🦜 I also once thought whether you started to learn French as you ventured into French music like you did with German as you explored Schumann and voilà, here you are with the (in)famous green owl. That made me chuckle. I'm now halfway through the last section of French since I started over a year ago and it's been a long trek. Je vous souhaite bonne chance dans vos nouvelles aventures. 😊
I'm looking very much forward to your album, especially the Alkan and Ravel pieces. Hopefully over time you can get a label to make albums out of your live concert performances! (The analogy with the cheese makes sense to all of us who eat (and like) Camembert and Brie 🤤.😋😊)
Oh my. I wouldn't have expected to see a piece by Alkan in one of your albums. Perhaps you might be aware of some of his gentler works such as his "Recueils de Chants", "Esquisses", Preludes, and "Les Mois".
Like the starry sky, there is almost a whole universe of flavours when you open the door to the 'universe' of cheese. A Mothais (a French goat's cheese) with a flavour reminiscent of hazelnut and dried flowers. Or a piece of Tomme de Savoie... Where to stop? 😄 I like your comparison very much: a universe of flavours like the universe of sound colours and nuances when you open the door to the world of Ravel. I spent one of my most beautiful moments in France when I was a teenager. In Paris and in the French Alps (La Savoie). And especially in the Alps... I still remember sitting there and seeing this mountain massif right in front of me ('Mont Peney', but I'm not sure I remember the name correctly), this wonderful aroma: in the air, of the food (the fresh sheep milk cheese from the little mountain cheese dairy in the neighbouring village, this tomato salad, the fresh bread...), the warmth of the sun on my skin... Thank you for bringing back these memories right now. And thank you for your music and the inspiration you give! ☺️ Michael
Aw I don't have the time nor the creativity to write music. Just because I can play doesn't automatically mean I have the talent to write... Much admiration for those who can write great music though! :)
First of Ravel’s Valses Nobles et Sentimentales. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valses_nobles_et_sentimentales_(Ravel)?wprov=sfti1# The Valses nobles et sentimentales is a suite of waltzes composed by Maurice Ravel. The piano version was published in 1911, and an orchestral version was published in 1912. The title was chosen in homage to Franz Schubert, who had released collections of waltzes in 1823 entitled Valses nobles and Valses sentimentales. The piano edition is published with a quotation of Henri de Régnier: "…le plaisir délicieux et toujours nouveau d'une occupation inutile" (the delicious and forever-new pleasure of a useless occupation). Quick Facts Published, Movements ... The suite contains an eclectic blend of Impressionist and Modernist music, which is especially evident in the orchestrated version.
La rue assourdissante autour de moi hurlait. Longue, mince, en grand deuil, douleur majestueuse, Une femme passa, d'une main fastueuse Soulevant, balançant le feston et l'ourlet; Agile et noble, avec sa jambe de statue. Moi, je buvais, crispé comme un extravagant, Dans son oeil, ciel livide où germe l'ouragan, La douceur qui fascine et le plaisir qui tue. Un éclair... puis la nuit! - Fugitive beauté Dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaître, Ne te verrai-je plus que dans l'éternité? Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici! trop tard! jamais peut-être! Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais, Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais!
I don't know if this just me or others can hear But it seems like your upper register keys must be Tuned & another point to mention is that & as a clinical Psychologist I say that there seems to a hole in your phenomenallygial world, this is not necessarily a bad thing but your attempt to hide it, ..., to me that's the thing you really need to avoid & the rest is just Please accept my highest regards 🙏✌🙂.
Thanks for helping me come up with the new series title! Hope you like it 🖤🤍
I've just booked my ticket for 2nd March. Looking forward to seeing you again in London! 🎹🎼🎶🤣

Aww being a mentor is a serious responsibility I won't take for granted. I hope you'll continue to be inspired and excited about the piano 🤗🎹

The love of animals in these videos is very interesting.
Wieder so ein schönes Video, vielen Dank!

Beautifully played 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
God Ravel's harmonic language is so gorgeous 😭

Think of only the positives, Tiffany.
I can't wait for your album.
🙏🙇🏻♀️
Right - Cheese good analogy. You are lovely, as always. Thanks for sharing this great music!
Thanks so much for sharing this exciting and fun-filled music! I've never heard of this before, as far as I can remember....
Great drive and sinuousness in the first waltzes! Eager to hear all of them.
Nice to see you play Ravel - one of my favourite composers and I just never get bored with his fantastic Piano Music. - And by the way what Piano do have now - is it an old Steinway ?

Love it! Gonna watch the series! ☺️
Yay! Thank you 🙏

Yes, pianist have a life!
Ravel and cheese...sweet...thank you for sharing.

Le coucou by Daquin at the beginning
🧐👍

Good night from Netherlands

❤❤❤❤❤
Are you coming to London? I would like to attend that, but I cannot see anything on the website for tickets.
I like the clear notes
My piano says "thank you."
Grand Rapids, MI is a good album launch location.. within a 3 hr drive of Chicago, IL, parts of Indiana, as well as parts of Ontario, Canada.👍🧀
I am curious if you wrote any music, if yes, would be nice to play some of it, if not, you should! :)
Aw I don't have the time nor the creativity to write music. Just because I can play doesn't automatically mean I have the talent to write... Much admiration for those who can write great music though! :)
Mouillé. Like the rythmic sentence "il pleut, il mouille, c'est la fête à la grenouille" (pizzicato)... Something "children" "sing" :)
C'est mignon, merci :)
nice series title
is the camera prefering the edge of your piano over your face to focus?
Yes, it's got a very irresistible curve
@ how rude ;)
what is the piece in the beginning?

Le Coucou
Le coucou by Daquin
merci merci !!! you're correct @@neutronenstern.
La rue assourdissante autour de moi hurlait.
Longue, mince, en grand deuil, douleur majestueuse,
Une femme passa, d'une main fastueuse
Soulevant, balançant le feston et l'ourlet;
Agile et noble, avec sa jambe de statue.
Moi, je buvais, crispé comme un extravagant,
Dans son oeil, ciel livide où germe l'ouragan,
La douceur qui fascine et le plaisir qui tue.
Un éclair... puis la nuit! - Fugitive beauté
Dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaître,
Ne te verrai-je plus que dans l'éternité?
Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici! trop tard! jamais peut-être!
Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais,
Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais!
Cheese can be very enjoyable. just be careful how you cut it.
This episode is very gouda
Is the Lili Boulanger on the album too? 🤗
Oui 😊
@@TiffanyPoonpianist it's a real gem, can't wait to hear your interpretation of it 😊
Just wondering, is this your personal piano?
Scriabin piano sonata 9!!!!!
😊waw 😊 and u grow ure french ?😊
Will the album be 100% french composers ?
Oui oui :)
hahahaha its all about the cheese :)
🐭
My guess: Debussy Valse la plus que lente
I'll give the debut episode of B B 🎼 W, 'The Complexity of Pungent🧀Cheese'... a
🐷🐷🐷🐷½ out of 5 Oinks🐽 ...
😉
Tiffany, if you're interested in French lessons, be sure to let me know. I teach privately as a tutor. :)
Girl are you ever getting back under the piano
Noice
Oink! Oink, Oink!
If you're gonna cover Ravel, you need to find a (ahem) "partner" for Ma mère l'Oye.
did you not like all types of cheese, even mild ones? say even cream cheese?!?
Ehhh...in moderation. I used to not even like pizza because of the cheese. 😅
Then it was the 13th variation from Alkan Le festin d'Ésope (39/12), wasn't it? Didn't receive a like then... :(
Oops, sorry I missed your comment 🙊
Chessy Ravel 😅
