In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tzigane . Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated 'Tzigane and both versions remain a 'must for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D'Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer's earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition - one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of 'Tzigane from the estate of Jelly D'Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D'Aranyi. D'Aranyi's alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D'Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.- First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano- Includes Jelly D'Aranyi's fingering / Violon Et Orchestre

“Virt uoso piece in the style of a Hungarian Rhapsody†– thus reads Ravel's entry on “Tzigane†in the so-called “Autobiographical Sketch.†Composed in 1924, there are three versions of this work: with piano, with orchestra and with luthéal, a device for keyboard instruments to extend the timbre. “Tzigane†was inspired by the Hungarian-English violinist Jelly d'Aranyl, to whom Ravel had already promised a virtuoso piece in 1922 following Franz Liszt's “Hungarian Rhapsodies.†Work progressed slowly and d'Aranyl only received the music four days before the première – but she still gave a brilliant performance.

Ravel†s TZIGANE is among the only concerto-like violin solos from the coloristically rich Impressionist repertoire. This exuberant showpiece is thoroughly infused with melodies and accompaniments in the style of Hungarian folk music, and Ravel composed the work with accompaniments for piano and for orchestra. Jeffrey Heisler’s brilliant transcription for soprano sax captures all the sparkle of Ravel’s violin writing and is fully compatible with both authentic versions, to allow optimum performance for saxophonists with either accompaniment. Heisler takes advantage of slap tongue and altissimo to create a dazzling showpiece, expanding the repertoire for the advanced saxophonist.
