Influenced by the elegant 18th-century harpsichord works of Couperin, Rameau and Scarlatti, Le Tombeau de Couperin consists of "Prelude," "Forlane," "Menuet," and "Rigaudon." The uninterrupted eight waltzes of Valses Nobles et Sentimentales, orchestrated in 1912 to serve as music for a ballet, abound with lilting rhythms and unexpected harmonic subtleties. This volume of two inspired works will be valued additions to the libraries of musicians, music lovers, and admirers of Ravel.
Includes 6 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 35; Variations serieuses, Op.
54; 6 Pieces enfantines, Op. 72.
