TOO FAST!!!!

@izlude2 Piano teachers have a way of embedding their own personal preferences on their young proteges and they may have their reasons for that. You must understand that this pianist in the video was taught by no less and no other than Rudolf Serkin himself. Ask your teacher who Serkin is (or you can google him) then your teacher or yourself can talk about visuals.

the tempo is a tiny bit too fast - for me - but the real problem is the quality of the recording- maybe the piano wasn't miked as well as it should have been.

She should fix her neck!

@kiisaka Then post a response video of your interpretation and show us how it is done...
-
it sounds pasty to me...probably because of the high pitch frequency sound

I'm one of those dummy people with no musical abilities except to insert a CD or put on a vinyl, and as a lover of Ravel's music I would not care to listen to this because it's too fast. It's not enjoyable to try and listen at such a fast tempo.

@angela1894, not at all. This tempo works just fine.

@izlude2 If it's an affectation, then your teacher is right. However, if it's a natural product of your playing style and an unconscious trait, then by all means move how you feel you need to. You should ultimately get to the point where how you look doesn't even enter your mind.



Too FAST, too damn fast !!

It's not that the tempo overall is too fast: it's fine. However, she rushes often, straying away from the rhythmic backbone of the piece. Also, she does not present the harmonics well. The colours are dull and have little contrast. With each of the key and chord changes, I want to see / hear a kaleidoscope.
