tonebase presents the tonic: a podcast about music and the people who make it. Hosted by Lowry Yankwich, the tonic delves into the hidden meanings behind great works of the past with legendary pianists of the present. For more: tb.media/thetonic Episode 4: The Odd Couple | Debussy and Ravel on the Threshold of the 20th Century Debussy and Ravel are often conjoined in the minds of piano students as the two French "impressionist" composers. But much is lost in such generalizations. This episode unpacks the distinct contributions of each composer, comparing and contrasting their novel uses of register, texture, harmony, narrative, and form. How did the two turn-of-the-century Parisians depart from the past, and how did they influence the future of art music? Lowry Yankwich seeks to answer these questions with the help of pianists Gwendolyn Mok, Arie Vardi, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Inna Faliks, and Noam Sivan.
