Szałucka plays Ravel - Sonatine

www.szaluckapiano.com 00:00-4:25 Modéré 04:25-07:20 Mouvement de menuet 07:20-11:06 Animé Ravel wrote the first movement of the Sonatine for a competition sponsored by the Weekly Critical Review magazine. The complete piece was premiered in Lyon in year 1906 by Paule de Lestang. It's dedicated to Ravel's close friend, Cipa Godebski. Ravel was known to value the work and performed it frequently. It quickly became one of his most popular piano works and put him in contact with the renowned Durand publishing house. Sonatina consists of three movements. The leaping-fifth melody of the first movement reappears in variations against different textures in the second and third movements. The opening Modéré is a well-structured sonata form with two themes presented in the exposition - first in F-sharp minor and second in D major. Owing to its diminutive form, the following Mouvement de menuet exists without a trio. It unfolds as a slow waltz, elegant and restrained but nonetheless building through moments of passion and intensity. The final Animé is the most technically challenging of all three movements. Inspired in part by the keyboard writing of Couperin and Rameau, the movement shifts restlessly between 3/4 and 5/4 time and abounds in energy, driving the work to its brilliant conclusion.
