  • OBOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3 I played that part when I was at band camp... Yes, band camp ;)

  • Heck yes French horns

  • One of my favorite pieces with French horn solos.

  • "Harold: Do you pray?

    Maude: Pray? No. I communicate.

    Harold: With God?

    Maude: With LIFE" (From "Harold and Maude")

    This is my communication with LIFE... Ravel's Pavane...

  • Beautiful painting, a great supplement to the music that suggests a similar image.

  • Playing this is the coolest thing ever.

  • @Frenchkisssss "Look now what we have , bullshit coming from USA : Lady Gaga and Justin bieber ."

    Listen to some good American music; don't just pick the worst examples of modern pop and then trash their whole culture. European contemporary music is equally terrible - for example, rave crap made for German nightclubs.

  • Somehow it doesn't sound "impressionist" when not on the piano. Not that Ravel needed to or should have been. Tis beautiful though. I get the feeling that the song wouldn't have been as good without the title.

  • Il etait très fort ce Ravel décidement ! Paix à son âme , un génie comme on en fait plus . Malheureusement !

    Could you imagine that in the past this kind of music was part of the dominant culture in Europe ? Look now what we have , bullshit coming from USA : Lady Gaga and Justin bieber . So sad , the american capitalism , culture of money is killing our culture , the real culture . Long live European culture.
