Ravel - Concert for the left hand - first Solo

[ortegapacho]

THIS IS INSANEEE!!!!!

[HAWKEYEx306x]

Truly remarkable... I saw this song first on an episode of MASH and I just had to find it. Remarkable!!

[marian444]

Very beautifel!!

[lawrence142002]

I first heard this on an episode of M*A*S*H where a young concert pianist loses the use of his right hand. Charles presents him with the music to this piece. It's a powerfully strong piece of music.

@lawrence142002

Yeah, that's where I first heard it. I was...perhaps eleven.

Anyways, very nice.

[Beadlovable]

@lawrence142002 That's where I first heard this, too. I kept the episode on my DVR just to hear this piece of music. I have been searching just for the piano alone, but I have found several pieces on iTunes for downloading.

@lawrence142002 Thats exactly why im here! it just sounded so good on the episode that i had to hear it!

[iliaki1968]

....wonderful performance -.wonderful technique...you are honoring Ravel...he would be very pleased with you if he lived to listen to you...bravo! One of my most favorite concerts!

[lorenc1000]

3 people have two hands also :this was made by Moris Ravel a french composer who created this for a pianist friend who lost an arm in ww1 .Anyway it's great song!!!!!

[dchiapello]

@lorenc1000 Not to be pedantic :-) but as far as I know, Paul Wittgenstein was not a friend of Ravel. He commissioned Ravel and other composers for piano works. Evidently, Wittgenstein made some fairly unappreciative comments about the concerto - and doesn't that beat all!

[tthtlc]

u played very well!!!!

[trimar42]

ave

je vous invite a venir jouer sur le piano  de Ravel si vous passez par la France

[TakovskyPoetOfCinema]

wondeful. thanks

[philliphamilton2]

which movement is this from?

[pianistpedro]

@philliphamilton2 This concert has only 1 movement. This is a piano solo at the beginning of the concert after a little intro by orchestra.

[jafigueroa41]

Thank you very much. A well performed rendering.

[kboss2011]

I wish I could play that good with both hands...

[ALeKZanDoHr]

i love how when there is piano music on youtube, only the civilized people come and comment! Haha

[SturmFuhrerx]

@ALeKZanDoHr Unfortunately, not always. I got pissed 5min ago, when seeing another video, of a Paul Wittgenstein's play. Some useless mocking people disliked the piece. They were babbling about it without even know Wittgenstein lost his right arm in WWI.

[emerilie]

@ALeKZanDoHr ^^ I definitely agree with you, i wish some unciviled people wouldn't comment but it's fun to listen and enjoy piano musci together .)
