Henri Ravina: Études Harmonieuses Op. 50 Nos. 16, 19,, 17

[MrEbaby2010]

No. 19 suugests a title of Nocturne or nice piece, very lyrical and romantic. No. 12 is avery lovely and tender salon piece. I love this composer as well as your playing.

@MrEbaby2010 Thank you for that!

Etude 19 sounds a lot like the piano opening of Alkan's first camera concerto

...Who influenced who in that regard?

[deviantrake]

I can't find the date the Etude Harmonieuses were written but going by opus numbers alone, Alkan's Op.10 against Ravina's Op.50 and tha fact that Alkan was 5 years older I'd say the Concerto de Camera was first by some distance.

[KwyKz0r]

apparently alkan performed the concerto da camera when he was 18, so that would mean ravina would have had to compose his 19th etude by age 13 :)

I suspect Deviantrake is right, although I doubt if the Alkan would have been widely known.

Très beau..C'est bien de ressortir tout cela! Au xix siècle la "ravinomania" a réellement existé!On comprend pourquoi!

Merci pour votre commentaire gentil. Si la musique de Ravina était si populaire alors, je suis sûr que cela pourrait être populaire maintenant s'il a été joué plus fréquemment!

Merci beaucoup!

Your tone that comes across is so warm, lovely pedal work.

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - I have to say I think the recording process takes a bit of the edge off. The sound would be brighter heard live.

I sent but you didn't get it. I'll try again: He has beautiful harmonic-turns. Nos. 16 and 19 are especially beautiful. Thanks for uploading.

My pleasure!
