It was unmistakably Liszt s piano piece Les jeux d eau 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.
