@vidcatchacomgoo I had to create a youtube account just to tell you what a hopeless moron you are.

The idea that anyone would call any part of ravel's gaspard de la nuit an "atonal piece of shit" absolutely blows my mind. Scarbo is incredibly complex in BOTH technical and interpretive demands.

And as vidcatchacomgoo said, the melody is in fact confined to a key signature most of the time. so its not atonal. so youre basically completely wrong

Stunning. But what amuses me is that she is playing this in a very good way disturbing piece in a pink ballerina dress.

Wow... What a ride... Thanks

@delf4eg1 Yes, it's a Bösendorfer (Imperial!..) - as almost always by Lisitsa- her preferred brand. Thanks for the comment- it express my own feeling as well. She's not only technically flawless and brilliant, but as an interpreter is wonderful too - so lyrical, gracious, soft in the best sense of the word, without any end in itself unnatural effects, noble and refined, spontaneous, organic - just a waking dream.

@dennisjiewenliu There are tons of them. How about you get your head out of your ass and listen to the music? In the first minute of the piece, I can hear 3 distinct melodies! Taking the Key signature into account, the first is Ax G# D#, the second D# E D# C# B A# G# D# D# E A#, and the third D# D# D# C# D# C# D# A# G# C# G#. There are countless others. Just listen, and your ignorance will flit away just as the little ghost does at the end of this piece!

@greenman67479 What melody??

[darkthunderz13]

@greenman67479 I'm darkthunderz13, not vidcatchacomgoo... thanks for the support, btw. Ravel was an impressionistic composer, not an atonal one like vidcatchacomgoo said. Glad you made an account! :)

[darkthunderz13]

@vidcatchacomgoo Actually, Scarbo is in B Major and an assortment of other keys, including D and Db at some points. So much for an "atonal piece of shit," huh? That's not saying it isn't harmonically free, but that doesn't mean it's bad, now does it?

[vidcatchacomgoo]

What a crappy atonal piece of shit. With that said...Excellent playing. Scarbo is a piece to show off technical capability....
