Adagio from Ravel's Piano Concerto in G

[PixieChic447]

Wow :)

[RuudVanPistolrooy]

Finding and watching this video made me drag my guitar out from under the bed and start playing it again after almost 18 years of it sitting in its case gathering dust.

A beautiful arrangement of one of my favourite pieces of music. Thank you.

@RuudVanPistolrooy

Just for that makes it all worth it to me. Thanks mate.

[ElectricLabel]

I really like this, and I like character that the imperfections in the instrument lend it too.

[bernab]

Despite the concerto is in G Major, the tonality of this movement is E Major. It has some chords that i think it influences some Robert Fripp´s music. Let us see Cadence and Cadence or Islands which are also in E Major tonality(the second case between E major and C# minor).

[rockstarr2113]

wow awesome man!

[geoffreyefloyd]

love this arrangement but the intonation on your guitar is very poor :<

[javierespinos]

oohhh..notable..5 stars

[ponchitoyeye]

fuck yeah man!!

[0thossia]

This is very beautiful music, wonderful performance.

[akiba60]

Bravo!

[jannokas85]

Wonderful! I love this! :)

[cutis1000]

Beautiful. How long did it take you to learn?

[hyperboreal]

Thank you, I can't remember exactly, I worked directly from the piano score for a few days.

[codonauta]

Hello. I really like very much this Ravel`s movement concert. Did you have to change the key signature ( tonality ) of the original composition?

[hyperboreal]

No key change from the original, worked on same chords except for that last one.

[codonauta]

Nunca pensei que fosse possível tocar isso a uma só guitarra. Onde se pode encontrar esta transcrição para guitarra?

[amccann7]

excellent!

[witness64]

very beautiful!

[Wylligr]

Muy bueno, te felicito!!

[TomGreble]

Incredible! Very well done :D

[lejoe48]

Me has emocionado, muy bonito y dulce. Gracias.

[leojregeirt]

Bravo! Very beautiful rendition, i am surprised and impressed to find this fits on a guitar fret board so convincingly. I only wish it were complete, or at least ended on the C# chord.

Excellent!

[MarioSpinosi]

Realmente Fantástico, Felicitaciones!

[troubleclef]

I'm listening to this a lot these days as i'm working out your rendition finally. This deserves WAY many more views, so I stopped watching my downloaded version and came here to tell you again that this is great.

[hyperboreal]

That's some really good news, this arrangement as heard in here would benefit a lot being played with better equipment. Not to say that with your performance the enhancement is going to be substantial. Can't wait!

[carubla]

You are both great players. I admire you. Thank you for giving us this wonderful performances.

[Isidroprada]

Excelent nickname : Hyperboreal.

[oldpier]

bravo!

[darnmat]

I'm falling in love with the music and the guitarist...

[lilwing89]

Das war so schön. Mein Leiblingslied von Ravel!

[masiurb]

Great! Don't stop there! You can at least go on till the re-exposition of the theme.

[Saphir8]

hmm-hmm i agree.. the very first time i heard this piece was (it was martha argerich playing) i almost started crying.. it was sooo amazing.. although she plays it very much like tchaikovsky.. i wonder, if i should use "rubato" or not.. because some say i ought to and some other tell me to play it the way michelangeli plays it.. what's your opinion

[hyperboreal]

He uses much more rubato than Argerich. I like Michelangeli's version better even though I play it more like her in terms of pacing. Using it or not is just a matter of personal taste and how do you feel at that moment I think.

[Saphir8]

well i get to play this concerto in november.. the conductor says i should play it as cold as posible.. hehe

[Saphir8]

what about the second half?

[hyperboreal]

I stopped working on it just when the orchestra enters, didn't even considered completing the whole thing...

[chris21125150]

Beautiful! You're a master!

[troubleclef]

incredible. it's all there! that is one of my favorite pieces of music in existence. When i saw you had posted something called "adagio ravel" i hoped it was this. In college i vainly attempted to arrange this for two guitars. you've got all those inner voices and complex harmonies going on just one guitar.

oh, i'm going to have to listen and learn this now. (of course, i said that a long time ago about 'time table' too, which i still haven't gotten around to). eek, so many tunes...

[hyperboreal]

Thanks Tony. I worked it out from the original piano score which is also in the same key. I'm really glad you like it and I'm sure you're going to be able to confront the two versions (mine and the powertab version) and even transcend them!

[hyperboreal]

Oh, and someone already tabbed "Time Table". Check it at the corresponding video post.

[chris21125150]

hey, do you have the tab to timetable??? I'd love to get my hands on that! Your version is incredible, as is this new song!!!

[chris21125150]

duh, I guess I should read the comments carefully, I see you already posted a link to the tab for Timetable. Thanks!!

[hyperboreal]

No problem Chris, cheers.

[Lena166]

[hyperboreal]
