at first I thought that this was Jeux de Eau by Maurice Ravel, but there is a melody singing in the beginning (and the audiences laugh at this).. can anyone tell me what that is? and waait, there's also a few excepts from Une Barque sur l'Ocean around a quarter part in the end.. sooo, Sciarrino mingled these two of Ravel's compositions together.. so cunning (bravo!!).. but this makes me yearn for more explanation of why this performance is so short..
It's just a little musical joke, a mashup of three pieces about water (two classical and one popular): Jeux d'eau, Singing in the Rain and Une barque sur l'océan.
Actually, this piece mixes 3 popular "water-themed" pieces to confuse the listener's perception on the first hearing. Quite ingenious stuff, if you ask me!
@@morganmartinez8420 I fully understand and I agree with you but Sciarrino wrote such unique pieces in the modern musical literature, why writing wawn this joke?
it is not an Anamorphosa ! so the title is not at all correct ! it's just a harmonic mapping but funny and efficient. (by the way Mauro Lanza has written a real anamorphosa, listen to that it's amazing)
Yes but this is like a joke piece on the Ravel work. The intent behind writing it is quite similar to that behind Hamelin's Imaginary Symphony Preambulum
Puerile? As the soul of God, thankfully. Un-artistic? Nope, unless you've never heard of harmony or counterpoint or phrasing and you believe music don't have to be worked out and elaborated and just pops out of somebody's forehead, in this case, granted. Embarrassing? Now it sounds like somebody who needs to learn about laugh, having fun as part of living, and working in order to enjoy your work and have fun at the end. Human experiences. You can Google those.
Said from a composer of contemporary classical music, yours is exactly that kind of posh behaviour that proves nothing and just pushes people away from listening to more serious stuff. But you'll be probably happy: you'll feel special
This is not 'serious stuff' at all.... it is a poor joke as any musical person can hear, damaging the original. Listen to the original piece and hear how serious THAT is. Painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa is a similar juvenile gesture, mostly by people who cannot do what such artists can. It is merely the little dog peeing at a stature. Only very primitive people, entirely ignorant of culture, think that an undertaking as this video presents, has to be taken seriously. They should keep to their own taste, pop music maybe, or other more appropriate entertainment, but they should not imagine that they can say something meaningful about art, or in this case: music.
Absolutely adorable, Signor Sciarrino!
this iis fantastic humor with quotes from ravel's miroirs and jeux d'eau with no pretension just music with a wicked wit. Wonderful!
Ravel's Water world and Singing in the Rain... A perfect match?
Amazing. But the piece in fact is refering to “ une barque sur l’ocean “
@@pacopann5245 no, is water games, Jeux de Eau
@@pablouuuu it's both! it was jeux d'eau but halfway through it also quotes une barque sur l'ocean
Keep in mind: this man taught himself everything
Really.? Is it truth ?
@@escuta-organica-vinil Not at all. It's just something he said, but was not true at all.
@@MiguelLopez-ep3cy It is
He had studied in his early years in Palermo's Conservatory of Music "Vincenzo Bellini".
@@itsmrpalomar and as a italian i can say it's a high level institute
I love all of the Ravel references, just shows how amazing Ravel was and will always be.
This piece remember us that even postmodern music can be ironic without being grotesque.
Irony is one of the core characteristics of postmodernism. And, indeed, it is not always hideous or shocking, as most people think it to be.
Dwindladwayne this piece isn't postmodern, it's basically parts of Jeux d'eau mixed with "singing in the Rain"
bla bla...
@@sebastianfu5979 so the mixing idea creates some irony, totally postmodern
@@sebastianfu5979 and Un Barque sur l'Océan
ça s'inspire beaucoup des jeux d'eau et d'une barque sur l'océan de Ravel, j adore
Very beautiful.
that was actually really really beautiful
That's because it's Ravel
Of course Hamelin plays him, dude knew every composer
also " une barque sur l'ocean"
correct! sorry if seven years passed, but yea!
@@AsrielKujo lol, nice
@thelio1000 Because the audience did not expect to hear the melody of "Singing in the rain" in the piece.
at first I thought that this was Jeux de Eau by Maurice Ravel, but there is a melody singing in the beginning (and the audiences laugh at this).. can anyone tell me what that is? and waait, there's also a few excepts from Une Barque sur l'Ocean around a quarter part in the end.. sooo, Sciarrino mingled these two of Ravel's compositions together.. so cunning (bravo!!).. but this makes me yearn for more explanation of why this performance is so short..
That melody you're talking about is Singin in the Rain.
@@AllNewYear wow thanks finally after 6 years. I almost forgot having watched this and asked that question 👏🙏
I think I've just found my new favourite composer. ;D
Great!
lol very funny, kinda like Charles Ives ... makes you wish you thought of it.
@UesagiCQ it's just pentatonic
This IS Ravel's piece where the guy changed the notes on the surface. Easy, right ?
What the guy calls Anamorfosi is just that.
He literally combined jeux de eau, singing in the rain, and un barque sur le ocean. But okay.
4 Aprile 2022...auguri...C A P A T O S T A !
@thelio1000, there is a hidden musical joke within the music; It's called "Singing in the Rain"
Epic
It's handsome.
I love Sciarrino but this piece always raised me the question of its raison d'être. Why adding a third voice to thiis Ravel's piece?

@@gerardbegni2806 why not
esta pieza esta basada en jeux d'eau de ravel
And also Une Barque sur L'ocean
@searchfgold6789 Thanks for your infomation !!! I just think the audience laugh because this not Jeax d'eau.
it is not an Anamorphosa ! so the title is not at all correct ! it's just a harmonic mapping but funny and efficient.
(by the way Mauro Lanza has written a real anamorphosa, listen to that it's amazing)
can you tell me which mauro lanza piece?
@@lufortuna it’s a piano piece but I can’t remember the title …
ma non è Bollani?
@madlovba2 okay
I think it like one Chinese style .
This is like Jeux d'eau by Ravel.
Yes but this is like a joke piece on the Ravel work. The intent behind writing it is quite similar to that behind Hamelin's Imaginary Symphony Preambulum
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji sciarrino, ravel :) Noice
@@achoikomposition nice indeed
Plus this also has combinations of Singing in the Rain and Un barque sur l'ocean.
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji ik lol, I was laughing hard at first
And yeet sciarrino composed this just to mock ravel AGAIN
Copy of the Jeux d'eau of Ravel. xD
_That's the joke_ 🥴
@@WEEBLLOM indeed
And un barque sur l'ocean and singing in the rain
Woah it’s you
What a puerile, un-artistic endeavor, and what an embarrassing tame joke this is.
congratulations on taking an SAT prep course

Obviously a comment from someone who never dealt with music professionally. How pleasant must be a life without distinctions.... and how easy.
