Ravel - "Scarbo" (from "Gaspard de la Nuit")

This movement depicts the nighttime mischief of a small fiend or goblin of some sort, making pirouettes, flitting in and out of the darkness, disappearing and suddenly reappearing. Its uneven flight, hitting and scratching against the panels of the bed, casting a growing shadow in the moonlight creates a nightmarish scene for the observer lying in his bed. With its repeated notes and two terrifying climaxes, this is the high-point of technical difficulty of the three movements. Technical difficulties include repeated notes in both hands, and tricky double-note scales in major seconds in the right hand.

Андрей! В целом не плохо, только не доигрываете, не досчитываете и пропускаете некоторые такты музыки в Скарбо.

Yeesh, you weren't kidding when you mentioned the technical difficulty... Though I would, personally, describe it as borderline insanity.

You are an absolutely fantastic pianist Andrey, so glad I stumbled upon your channel and subscribed. I hope you become well known and successful!

Andrey, my heartfelt congratulations! You have technically mastered this difficult piece...and you must have worked very, very hard to accomplish this feat. I would love to hear it again, when you have worked more precisely the "dramatic" context of the composition. There are so many shades to explore; for instance, I would like to really be "terrified" next time around. I am very proud of you and your teacher.
