This major 20th-century Neoclassical work is Ravel's last work for
piano solo. A tombeau is a lament, and each of the six movements is
intended as a musical epitaph to friends lost in the war. The
difficulty found here, especially in the "Toccata," is understood
when one learns that Ravel studied Liszt's transcendental etudes in
preparations for writing the suite. The meticulously researched
stylistic information and clear, accurate text of this performing
edition will prove to be invaluable to the advanced pianist.
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.
