Jeux d'eau
by Maurice Ravel
PianoImpressionistCharacter piece~6 minprofessional
Inspired by "the sound of water and the musical sounds made by fountains, waterfalls, and streams," Jeux d'eau (1901) was a landmark in piano writing. Ravel combined Lisztian virtuosity with new harmonic language to create shimmering textures. The work demands crystalline fingerwork and sophisticated pedaling.
