Ravel was one of the few composers to use the invention of Belgian Georges Cloetens. This system, which can be fitted to a piano, can be used to modify its timbre, bringing it closer to the lute, harpsichord or cymbalum of traditional Eastern European music. Come and discover his emblematic work, Ravel's Tzigane. Florian Noack will also be presenting other pieces illustrating the popular festivals of Central Europe and recalling the distinctive sound of the cymbalum. As for Maya Levy, in a completely different register, you can hear her in the sonata Ballade by Eugène Ysaÿe. What more to discover!
