Maurice Ravel : Sonatine pour Piano

This collection of sheet music by the great French composer Maurice Ravel features 19 of his greatest pieces, all newly-arranged especially for this volume. The subtle melodies and achingly beautiful harmonies of these lush Impressionist pieces truly do illustrate the sheer Joy Of Ravel.The pieces by Ravel included in this collection rank alongside Debussy as some of the prettiest Piano music ever composed. Ravel himself categorically refused the term 'Impressionist', believing it to be reserved for paintings only, but his music so closely resembles the colourful flourishing and affective beauty of those works of art that it is difficult to resist such a description. Featuring works like Boléro, Jeux D'Eau, Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte as well as excerpts from La Valse, The Joy Of Ravel for solo Piano sound utterly divine.Pieces like Menuet Antique, Prélude and the selections from Le Tombeau De Couperin perfectly encapsulate what makes Ravel's compositions so incredible. His perfectionist methods resulted in extended harmonies, complexly musical modulations and masterful melodies that make these 19 works of art an unabashed joy to play and to hear. One of the great things about this sheet music book is the visual beauty of the music. With lilting notes and extensive ties, this is not only a work full of aural pleasure but it's some of the nicest-looking notation out there.

Now they're all in one conveniently spiral-bound volume, arranged for solo Piano for your sheer playing pleasure.Like the Baroque and Classical periods before it, Romantic music existed within a broader artistic, intellectual and literary movement.

This makes The Library Of Romantic Music particularly exciting, because the extraordinarily rich and expressive music is collected here in a single volume that is durable, convenient and is sure to be a mainstay of your music stand.For a simply stunning compendium of some incredible pieces of music composed by the masters, The Library Of Romantic Music is essential.

Ravel a 30 ans en 1905 lorsqu'il compose cette oeuvre qui suscite dès sa création un grand enthousiasme. Par sa concision, elle prend le contrepied des oeuvres pour piano contemporaines toutes empreintes encore du post-romantisme germanique (Dukas, d'Indy, Franck). Véritablement moderne, bien que de forme classique, elle participe à cette renaissance pour les formes du passé (le mouvement central est un menuet !), que Claude Debussy va sublimer à son tour quelques années plus tard avec ses trois dernières sonates (1915-1917). / Flûte traversière / Billaudot
