Favourite solo piano set of Ravel

[Scriabinist]

So, what would it be? Mine's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales, followed by Miroirs.

[An!ma`]

Miroirs and Gaspard .

[Joffrey]

Pavane.

For me the piece is about respectful remembrance and hope. The integrity of the melody line never ceases to amaze me everytime I hear it, even in a mellow club mix of the piece I recently heard. I think it is one of the strongest melodies ever trusted to paper, yet when it is performed, be it by a pianist, a symphonic orchestra or house DJ, it remains fragile.

Maybe I am being too sentimental.

I haven't heard them all, but from the first four in the list it's Gaspard.

I like Valse Nobles et Sentimentales, but Gaspard rules all.

[Scriabinist]

Darn, I seem to have misspelled Gaspard.

Heh, I knew most people would choose that one...

[PianistSk8er]

I chose it, for the fact that I've only heard that one and Miroirs, which is also quite good.

[Philip Daniel]

Though I'm not too enamored of Ravel, I must say that the Miroirs are my favorite of those listed of his pieces.
