Guy in the back is good, but guy at the front sucks...

you make this piece look so easy, just started learning it and it is definitely way harder than it sounds!

"Just a bit of discernment is enough to distinguish Debussy and Ravel... But a lot of insight can bring them together" (French philosopher and musicologist Vladimir Jankélévitch° It's true, many people associate the two composers too easily)

^^... I mean technical.
All musicologists have been puzzled by the resemblance.
12/16 and 12/16 ! Compare for exemple only Ravel bars 1-4 (these bars give the theme and 'spirit' of the piece) -A -G -D -E -G -B et cetera, and Debussy bars 36-40... / -A -G -D -E -C -D... etc.
Which composer knew what wrote the other ? (Ravel I think)
Another mystery musicological : Compare Debussy / Ravel, 1913, "Trois Poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé"
I'm sorry for the lack of dynamics in this video. I'm sure I could do a better job myself, but the camera has to take most of the blame. It equals out the volume, in adition to creating that irritating background static. I hope I get better equipment soon.
