Toscha Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Hasn't Oldbear heard anything other than "Bolero" out of considerable output of Ravel? While "Bolero" is probably the most famous composition of Ravel, the composer was not particularly fond of it, nor it is exactly a representative of his musical style. Ravel's "Tzigane" and violin sonatas (I am not too familiar with the early sonata, though) show that Ravel was perfectly capable of writing music without excessive repetitions, and he certainly had flair for writing violin music.

Paganini Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Actually, the Tzigane is a series of ingenious repetitions. Repetitions nontheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search for Khachaturian -- I asked about recordings a few weeks back and there were a number of replies. I'm working on the concerto now (it's one of my favorites), and I've listened to just about all the readily available recordings and some less so.

Jascha Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Schubert wrote a Konzertstucke (don't know if that is spelled right) also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Smetana He wrote 2 wonderful pieces for violin & piano -- they give just a taste of what his concerto would be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
