Jeff Berlin's part on "Valse Nobles et Sentimentales"


Recommended Posts

Just posted to either inspire or depress you...Jeff Berlin's bass part on the duet he plays with Richard Drexler on his latest album.

This is part of a series of waltzes written by Maurice Ravel, and Mr. Berlin does it as a bass/piano duet. And yea, its really hard to play. But it sounds very impressionistic and kinda creepy but pretty at the same time. Those crazy frenchmen.

I updated the article to include a breakdown of the most ridiculous parts of Valse Noble at a tempo that is more close to something mortal men can attain....

If you want to work it up, you can go over the rough spots and break down the most difficult passages.
