Jeux D’eau translates literally to “Water Games.” By listening to this piece you can definitely hear the delicate clarity of every fluid passage that my favorite pianist (of all time) Martha Argerich demonstrates in this recording. A few years ago, I played this piece for a piano competition and I remember listening to this recording of Argerich at least 20 to 30 times a day--trying my best to replicate the impeccably bewitching technique and musicality that the Martha Argerich delivers. This piece certainly calls for incredibly strong and efficient finger techniques in order to create aqueous sounds that this composition calls for.
