    After suffering pain like deciding choices of my own life, I chose to watch this video again. After the last notes ended, I cried, not because the painful feeling, but the inspiration and the power from your music, I can feel that the passion and the pure instinct and the peaceful power from the music, not only the melody we heard, but also some invisible power from music and the performance. I thought that might be the meaning of music, of life. I could be stronger towards my own life. After watching your performance I should ask myself that as a human being what are real, and what are really valuable for your own life. I might write too long, but that’s all I really feel. Thank you for your performance 🙂☀️🎹

      John R. Haws She shows a thorough understanding of the work and the pain and confusion it expresses. It’s a joyously romantic waltz trying to break free from the chains of angst-riddled dissonance. Represents Ravel’s tiresome efforts to remember all that is beautiful about his homeland and Europe altgother despite the war and suffering which plagued it at the time it was written - a war in which Ravel himself served in.

I'm not a big fan of Ravel, but it does show your amazing ability to blend talent, emotion,and physical beauty into a very difficult piece. You have taken over Valentina as my favorite pianist. None better.

      At this level, all pianists are about equal, with some having particular strengths. Lisitza does the best Beethoven Moonlight Sonata I've ever heard: czcams.com/video/OsOUcikyGRk/video.html -now that one is not as technically difficult as this Ravel piece (although the final movement is tough enough), but it's her beautiful expression and cadence that really interprets Beethoven so beautifully.
