Description:
Jeux d'Eau, (The Play of Water) composed in 1901, was Ravel's first important Piano composition. This work brought together a new pianistic technique and daring impressionistic harmonies. It is a marvellous blendofbi-tonality, pentatonicism and impressionism. Ravel wanted the piece played with a crystal clear, bubbling touch, emphasising the lively, sparkling quality of water. The title suggests this joyous sensuality. This is aGreatPerformers Edition, with notes by Gaby Casadesus, wife of the great pianist Robert Casadesus, according to his notes.
