Ravel's Piano at Musee Maurice Ravel in Montfort L'Amaury, France
Me playing Ravel's piano!!! During my trip to the small, charming town of Montfort L'Amaury in the summer of 2013, I was privileged enough to be allowed to play Ravel's Erard piano at the Musee Maurice Ravel. Many thanks to the eternally generous Madame Claude for allowing me to fulfill my dream of being able to inhabit the instrument upon which Ravel created both of his Piano Concerti as well as several other of his late works.
Wish I hadn't been so nervous and had time to warm up a little, otherwise my playing would have been much less stiff and had fewer mistakes. No matter, still such a thrill! I choose the third and fourth movements of the Valses Nobles et Sentimentales. For the most spectacular performance of this work EVER, click the following link:

Thanks for watching!

MAISON-MUSEE RAVEL
Séduit par le calme et la beauté de Montfort-l’Amaury, Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) s’installe au Belvédère en 1921.
Cette maison, qu’il aménage et transforme, devient pendant seize années son refuge, lieu de composition et de méditation. Il y accueille ses amis et crée des œuvres qui, aujourd’hui encore, sont jouées dans le monde entier, telles que Le Boléro, L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, Tzigane, Le Concerto pour la main gauche…
Laissez-vous surprendre et émouvoir par ce lieu à part.

Le Belvédère - Maurice Ravel's house in Montfort-L'Amaury
In 2003, I visited Le Belvédère, Maurice Ravel's house in Montfort-L'Amaury near Paris. The museum has apparently been closed, so I decided to share the video I recorded at the time. I can even be heard playing a few snippets of Ravel's music on his Erard piano. The background music is Ravel's Piano Concerto in G (2nd movement) by Samson François and the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire directed by André Cluytens.
Maison - Musée Maurice Ravel
Belvedere is the name of the house in Montfort l'Amaury (Yvelines) and composer Maurice Ravel lived for sixteen years from 1921 until the year of his death at a clinic in Paris in 1937. This relatively modest house cramped and takes its name from its location on a hillside and the view it offers of the city of Montfort l'Amaury and Rambouillet forest in the background.
