First off, Ravel was a COMPOSER who performed. Not a PERFORMER who COMPOSED. It is nice, however, to try and glimpse into what he was looking for when he tried to capture what's in his noodle. Take from an actual composer, composing and performing are COMPLETELY different. Even when I perform my own works, I have to change my mindset in a radical way and am, in my opinion, an inferior performer to a composer.

@Maddolis I am pianist and composer; in today time exist great quantity of pianists, but in spite of modern training techical in cause of musician capabilities, percent of tone-quality pianists was greater in first half of XX-century than today; for modern competitors lection is S.Rachmaninoff- he played himself great piano-concertos almoust 100% clean, but with much more MUSIC than modern competitors or members of jury

@mirkojorgovic Ah okay, you probably know more about it than I do.
-
@Maddolis Saint-Saens did FAST VIRTUOSO,but himself tone-quality was inferior compared to Arthur Rubinstein,Leopold Godowsky or G.G.Neigauz; also Alfred Cortot was excelent tone-quality pianist
-
@mirkojorgovic Saint-Saens, the incredible virtuoso pianist/composer, or a boy you knew growing up?
-
Ravel was far better pianist than Debussy,Saint-Saens,Stravinsky
; Alexander Scriabine was similar in range -
nice

As Horowitz said, a piano is not a typewriter!

@maternalheart66 I agree absolutelly with you!

This is a no-brainer...composers were often good pianists but not in the first rank of virtuosos of their age...Rachmaninoff was an exception as were his forebears,Chopin and Liszt. To rank on Ravel and compare him to Richer and Argerich is ridiculous....he was a composer par excellance whose work is recognizable in one measure and that is all.....what a pleasure to hear him play his own work....if only the technology was there in 1880 to hear Liszt!

Its imperfections is what makes it so dream like.
It doesn't need to be perfect to be beautiful.
That's how his music makes me feel.
