M.Ravel - Gaspard de la Nuit, M.55 - III.Scarbo

Hello, everyone. Finally, I made it. It's time to introduce the long-awaited masterpiece: "Scarbo", the third and the last movement of "Gaspard de la Nuit".
This movement is infamous for its tremendous difficulty (both technically and musically!!), because Maurice Ravel intended this movement to be more difficult than "Islamey" by Mily Balakirev, which was already one of the most difficult piano works. "Scarbo" is a small fiend or goblin that appears in A. Bertrand's poem, who likes nighttime mischief. It makes pirouettes, flits in and out of the darkness, disappears and suddenly reappears.¹ To convey its uneven actions, pianists need to properly understand the poem and the music, and then perform these formidable passages (e.g. repeated notes, major seconds, multiple tuplets) without hesitation. The problem is... the whole procedure is extremely challenging itself.
This concludes the series of "Gaspard de la Nuit". Despite its high level of difficulty, its profound musicality did blow my mind, so I'm willing to perform this work in future recitals.
Thank you for listening, and stay tuned!

안녕하세요! 오래기다리셨죠? 드디어 스카르보를 올리네요 ㅎㅎ 역시 아시다시피 정말 어렵기로 유명한 난곡 답게 아니나다를까 상당히 힘들었습니다 ㅎㅎ.. 다들 아시겠지만 이곡은 라벨이 당시 가장 어려운 피아노곡으로 유행했던 발라키레프의 "이슬라메이" 보다 더 어렵게 쓰려고 의도했던 곡이였습니다. 스카르보는 베르트랑의 시에서 나오는 장난치기 좋아하는 요정이라고 말하는데 이 캐릭터를 음악적으로 표현하는데에 있어서 굉장히 어렵다고 말할수 있겠습니다. 물론 테크닉적으로도 난해하고요. 아무튼 라벨의 밤의 가스파르 시리즈는 이렇게 끝마칠것 같습니다 ㅎㅎ 앞으로 이 곡집 또한 계속 가지고 갈것 같은 곡인것 같네요:) 가능하다면 연주회에서 꼭 써먹고싶네요!
다음에 또 찾아 뵙겠습니다!
