In this masterclass, professor Jean-Frédéric Neuburger is accompanied by piano student Pierre Venissac, who will be working on "Une barque sur l'océan" from Ravel's Miroirs. Professor Neuburger emphasizes the need for Pierre to convey the different emotions and moods of the piece, and to create a sense of journey or voyage for the listener. Professor Neuburger mentions other pieces by Ravel, such as "Shéhérazade," and suggests that the pianist should make connections between these works. The conversation touches on the nature of the ocean and the ever-changing waves, while Pierre receives feedback on the technique and interpretation of certain parts of the music, with a focus on achieving a more fluid and nuanced performance.

What we learn in this piano masterclass:
Suggested variations in dynamics and speed,
The amusing importance of references to other works,
How to focus on the melodic line and avoid over-articulating,
Control the use of the pedal and obtain balance,
A reminder to find one's own imagery.
