Maurice Ravel

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.

The title of Ravel?s Miroirs (1904/05) can be interpreted as ?reflections? of the human world of experiences. Among the nature pictures in this cycle ?Une barque sur l?océan? is particularly popular forming a pianisticcomplement to Debussy?s orchestral work ?La mer? which was written at about the same time. The spacious arpeggios with fifths fourths and seconds hovering above them in subtle rhythms paint a maritime tableau that is in agenre all of its own: on the one hand we have a stylised picture of a boat at the mercy of the wind and the waves while on the other hand an allegory of the volatile nature of human life. This is the second separate edition of apiece from Ravel?s ?Miroirs? to be published by G. Henle Publishers after ?Alborado del gracioso? (HN 1295).
