Prelude in A Minor (1913) - Maurice Ravel

Ravel's Prelude in A minor, M.65, was composed in 1913. According to Robert Stahlbrand's comments at the Piano Society website:

"Ravel composed this wonderful little Prelude in 1913 as a conservatory test. The students were not allowed to see the score before it was to be executed and the tricky part about it is to read the score right to for the hand crossings that must be applied to execute it properly. It is also well used by today's teachers for the same purpose but also as an exercise to apply the appropriate velocity to achieve the tenderness of the prelude. It is my view that any pianist should play this at least once in their life."

thank you for watching :)

I like the dreamy atmosphere of this piece. What a lovely performance ❤️

I'm surprised I haven't heard this one before. Love how Ravel made some of the simplest piano pieces yet also some of the most complex in the literature.

An unfamiliar piece yet beautiful to listen to 👏

Lmao I like how you set the scroll speed to snail slow to make it look like a much harder piece. I legit thought he wrote another, harder Am prelude and that’s why the year was always added

Ravel is indeed a genius! This looks easy until the hand crossing hehe

Very well done! I'm learning this piece but I am still a beginner and find it hard to keep a consistent timing

Cool video performance! How do you create this kind of video?

I'm currently learning this piece too! how hard do you think is it for me to play well like your performance? 😁
