Description
Maurice Ravel - Le tombeau de Couperin M. 68 No. 6 in E minor "Toccata"
Ravel makes the piano sound almost weightless at the opening of this Toccata. The repeated notes and hand-to-hand exchanges keep it in motion, even when a broader phrase seems to hold the music in place.
Listen for the notes that carry each phrase as the texture thickens. The score rewards pianists who enjoy balancing crisp articulation with a singing line at speed.
Have a happy performance!
