  • It's difficult to beat Pascal Rogé's version. He's a frikkin genius.

    But the fact that anybody can play this song baffles me. The ability to do this earns my immediate respect, regardless of how they compare to Pascal Rogé.

  • Was it Ravel the one who was a "bad pianist" in his time???

    I can't believe it!!! damn...

  • This is one of the damnedest things to play that has ever been written. But it is one of those that is worth it when get to the point when you can play it. One of my favorite pieces for piano ever. When I can play this I will have arrived. I will have reached the ultimate point in my piano career.

  • i eventually heard a few mistakes but... what a hell of a pianist :)

    great job

  • @pumpkinheadedmf Rogé's all right, but if you want to beat him, listen to Casadesus, Thibaudet, or even better and fiercer, Samson François. That's about the most powerful, diabolically accurate and splendidly grandiose and yet completely true to Ravel version of the Toccata I've ever heard (and also the two piano concertos).

  • The beginning is funky

  • Your opening repeated notes had me smiling but then it got a little slugish on the chords. If you can play the piece with the same snap as you have on your repeated notes this would be awesome.

  • @shroomiedoll Well, when a pianist starts to focus on composing, they can't spend hours and hours practicing. Beethoven couldn't play some of his own works. They just need to know what can be done on the instrument.

  • Remember!!! technic represents the material side of art as a money represents the material side of life. by all means achieve a fine technic, but do not dream that you will be artistically happy with this alone...technic is a tool to bear in expressing his own spiritual individuality and THIS YOUNG PIANO MAN IS AMAZING!!!

  • bua tio, esta es dificil enhorabuena suena muy bien !!

  • i cant imagin what is going through the minds of the players who play this.. like if you mess up during a fast part, how do u come back in?
