Nope, nothing wrong with the speed per Ravel's markings. "Put more feeling into it" is the standard critique by people who don't have the knowledge to give a more meaningful criticism of a performance.

Good job, however I find your overall approach slightly too aggressive and the tempo a bit fast for my taste!

[CHILLEDKAHLIL]

i love this song if only the tempo were slower the over all effect what be more soulful and wonderful

Excellent! Very, very beautiful. Thank you for posting.

@Theowne It's the artist job to make the listeners feel as though there is actually feeling in his performance, not the listener's job. Following rigidly metronomic marking is just mechanical. Music isn't anything beyond a normal person's comprehension, we are all qualified to decide whether a piece of music is played well, and those who believe they comprehend music's beauty more than others are just snobbish. Musical taste differs between people, and it's the artist's job to satisfy them all.

@alexanderxharris. its not a song, its a piano piece.

@Theowne

Totally agree!!!

[alexanderxharris]

My favorite Piano song. It has lot of feelings that I can't describe.

I should not have said Too Fast.

I should have said just a tiny tiny little bit too fast.

It may be the quality of the audio - hard to hear good separation - so the congestion of the audio may give the impression that it needs to go a little slower so it can breathe better and the listener can hear better inner details.

@bachiano1 Nope, speed is fine. Try looking at the sheet music.

[bachiano1]

too fast
