I like the way he said how a song doesn't really sound like a season but its the person whos looking at the season, this song to him sounds like spring into summer, to me it's summer into fall also it sounds like a chandelier dancing too. I'm going to see him in concert at the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago 10/16, can't wait. Gorgeous or should I say Georgeous music.

I know what he's talking about, certain songs reminding people of certain situations, specific times, and even certain months or seasons.

Great. George knows how to write a melodic piano piece. However, lately he has been working on some bluesy stuff that sounds too honkey-tonkish and old. He said that he was working on that mostly. I think he should stick to his melodic/new age stuff, its much better.

I really wish I could see him in concert; he is my role-model for piano!!

i listened to it. Seems to me that his chord changes are too frequent and i became bored with the song. the man is a great player and perhaps that was a technically impressive composition but isn't it the output that matters in the end? Winston's pieces are more on track with a singular idea which is what makes music easy to listen to while Ravel creates and elaborate showcase but without resolve. Just my opinion though.

A dear friend gave me this link, and I am so glad she did. A passionate piece, played with sensitivity. Nature is hard to mimic, harder still to describe in words, let alone music, but he makes a good point, that this is about the composer looking at and describing his feeling as the rain falls in a forest. I can only imagine how my friend would play this piece and how her interpretation would differ from the composer's. I can dream...

I know this music sounds beautiful to most who have commented on this page. But this music is really so simple to both compose and play- it's just a series of repeated chords within a single repeating pattern. Not that simplicity is bad, but there really isn't much compositional or performance skill or talent here. It really does not take much to get a beautiful sound out of the piano. I suggest all present type in "Ravel Jeux D'eau" in the search box. Listen to a real composer for the piano |
