Abstract

Maurice Ravel berusia dua puluh satu tahun ketika ia mengenal Gaspard de la nuit yang ditulis oleh Aloysius Bertrand untuk pertama kalinya. Sebagai pecinta literatur, Ravel terpukau pada karya-karya puisi oleh Bertrand di mana di dalamnya terdapat gambaran suasana jaman Gotik, kaya akan fantasi mencekam dan romansa. Dua belas tahun kemudian ia mempublikasikan sebuah karya piano solo dengan judul yang sama, yang terdiri dari tiga bagian. Pada setiap bagian karya, Ravel menempatkan sebuah puisi di halaman pertama yang menyiratkan bahwa ia menginginkan sang pianis untuk membaca, mengerti, dan mampu untuk mengikuti alur cerita ke dalam permainannya.  Penelitian ini berfokus pada Ondine, bagian pertama dari set Gaspard de la nuit, dengan menganalisa dari tiga sudut pandang, yaitu puisi, musik, serta relasi antara puisi dan musiknya. Tujuan penulis adalah untuk mencari tahu bagaimana Ravel, dengan latar belakangnya, gaya bermusiknya, dan keterampilannya dapat menempatkan kata-kata puitis dari Aloysius Bertrand menjadi suatu cerita musikal, yang dapat digunakan sebagai panduan dalam gaya bermain penuh imajinasi ketika menampilkan karya ini.  Maurice Ravel was twenty-one years old when he read Gaspard de la nuit by Aloysius Bertrand for the first time. Being a fan of literature, Ravel was captured by Bertrand’s poems in which the elements of medieval Gothic atmosphere, dark fantasy, and romance could be found. Twelve years later his own piano suite with the same title was published, in which he placed a poem before each of the three pieces; this suggests that he wanted the pianists to read, to understand, and to be able to follow the story when they play the music. This research is focusing on Ondine, the first of the set, by analysing from three points of view: the poem, the music, and the relation between the music and the poem. The aim is to find out how Ravel, with his background, musical beliefs, and craftsmanship, set the poem into a musical story and therefore could be used as a tool for an imaginative playing in performing this piece.

Abstract

The so-called "French piano school" in the 21st century is rarely discussed and pointed out specifically. This goes the same way as Russian school or German school, for these national schools have been mixed and influenced between one and the others since artists were easily connected internationally in the twentieth century. As Jean-Philippe Collard (1948, France) said in his 1986 interview: "Today all the so-called schools have combined--the Russian, the French, the German, the Japanese, or what have you." (Timbrell, 225). However, it is important to know about their existence, for we would find out versatile techniques, artistry, and sound of the repertoires we learn. Based on qualitative research through books, journals, and articles, the writer will discuss about the French school: how it began from the time of Rameau and Couperin, enjoyed its celebrated jeu perlé technique, then slowly renewed itself toward the new international way of piano playing. At the end of this journal, we hope to have a new insight in applying various ways of practicing to find the perfect sound to our ears, in respect to French composers and their music.
