I agree with those who say this is too fast. I have another one of her interpretations and it's fantastic. Best I have heard. This one is too much though. Reminds me of her Concertgebouw 78/79 concert. Most of the things from that one are too fast,,,
it's a minuet. Ravel obviously didn't want it to drown in sentiment. I think she might be one of the few modern pianists who actually gotten the tempo fairly correct
It's the left hand's leading theme, which builds everything up to about 1:07, from where you have diminuendo. I forget what the exact technical terms are...took music theory like 4 years ago...but yes, I don't know about your sheet music, but her interpretation should be "correct."
If Ravel had only lived long enough to create this one movement in this one piece, that would have been enough to inspire me for the rest of my life. Check out Martha's recording of this of 30 years ago--expressive, at the tempo written for it, beautiful.
@TheAnnieye7 Good to see another felloe believer here listening to this fantastic music. May I also recommend the great music of Frederico Mompou, another impressionist (though born in Barcelon and lesser known) whose musci is romantic and mysterious, and somewhat less "formal" sounding than Ravel's. There are many videos of his work here, some on my own channel. I'm rather sure you will love his music. Check out the CHARMEs and the MUSICA COLLADA series of works. God bless!
Argerich has really discovered the depths inside this piece. It's not just one melodic line, but multiple voices hidden inside and after numerous listenings I discover these little nuances and I'm like "Oh wow, I never noticed that!"
You're dynamics are great but you're seriously rushing it! Why rush?

What happened to the ppp at about 1:00? A lot of places it's really loud...or maybe I just have a different sheet music...

I like your profile name. I'm in love with Jesus Christ too. It's good to find a Christian who loves God and likes music. :)

She makes of the Menuet a GALOP!
She distorts the speed in almost everything she plays.
I DON'T LIKE IT. Her interpretations are grotesque.
Getting slower and slower and slower towards the end doesn't help much either.

It could be more sostenuto, rubato, like Say's.
But I can hear Menuet here.
This part of SOnatine doesn't have to be slower. It must be different

I feel it like a baroque minuet.. So I like it (and I play it) slower!

Thanks for posting this. The tempo is so fast! A few additions have 108 as the tempo marking. But this starts out more like 132.
