Par RAVEL MAURICE. It was unmistakably Liszt’s piano piece “Les jeux d’eau à la Villa d’Este” that inspired Ravel to compose one of his most famous works in 1901: “Jeux d’eau”. Laid out in sonata form, its sound is governed by myriad motions of water and sustained by innovative, highly virtuosic piano textures against a freely migrating and richly coloured harmonic backdrop. Nicolas Southon has re-evaluated the work’s many sources, including memoirs from musicians close to Ravel such as Vlado Perlemuter, Jacques Février and Hélène Jourdan-Morhange. Special attention has been devoted to the original part-writing in Ravel’s notation. Rounding off the new edition are an informative Foreword, atrilingual glossary as well as fingering and notes on performance by Ravel specialist Alexandre Tharaud.

Par RAVEL MAURICE. Maurice Ravel's Sonatine for Piano Solo, composed in 1905, has a classical form in the style of Haydn, blended with modern harmonisation. It is very different from the impressionist style of Debussy and is characterised by a delightful spontaneity. The first movement has a feeling of nostalgic freshness, bright and clear. The second movement harks to late 18th-century elegance and structured form. The third movement has a virile energy pulsing through several sequential patterns to plaintive charm and brings a return of the initial theme. This contrast of vitality and tenderness is finished with a sparkling climax. This Urtext Edition ofRavel's Sonatine For Piano Solo has been reproduced from original manuscripts and accurate transcriptions to be as close to the composer's intentions as possible and also contains detailed background notes as well as a full critical commentary for this edition. / Urtext / Répertoire / Piano
