Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 9422. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-9422). ISBN 9790004188996. 9 x 12 inches. Daphnis et Chloe is certainly not only one of Ravel's best works, but also one of French music's most beautiful creations, thus, Stravinsky's view of this ballet in his memoirs, published in 1935. Today the work is a monument to the art of Impressionist orchestration, incorporating the narration within the sound material. Each instrument is treated in the most effective way possible. Remarkable are the strings' extreme divisi, their harmonics' glissandi, and other enigmatic effects, such as utilizing a wordless chorus. Individual performances without choir likely go back to a makeshift arrangement that Ravel produced to facilitate performance at less prominent venues. But it is precisely the use of the choir that contributes to the magic of Ravel's music language.Retained for the new edition has been the original piano reduction by Ravel. The numerous changes in notes, harmony, and dynamics discovered in comparing the piano and orchestral versions are remarkable; the most important differences from the orchestral version are noted in the critical report of the conductor's score PB 5650.The Ravel specialist Jean-Francois Monnard has also edited this ballet with detailed attention to the customary Urtext standard. The preface includes numerous references to both genesis and performance history as well as interpretation, correcting also many previously handed-down errors. The large format of the piano reduction as well as the clarity and transparency of the modern notation aids in rehearsing the choir and ballet. $79.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 3 to 4 weeks | | |

Breitkopf and Haertel #PB 5650. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.PB-5650). ISBN 9790004215470. 10.5 x 14 inches. Daphnis et Chloe is certainly not only one of Ravel's best works, but also one of French music's most beautiful creations, thus, Stravinsky's view of this ballet in his memoirs, published in 1935. Composing the work, commissioned by the Ballets Russes, turned out to be problematic, involving linguistic differences and remuneration disagreements that dragged on among the choreographer, impresario, and composer. Too few rehearsals, a difficult choreography, tricky 5/4-meter, and other oddities in the music probably led, ultimately, to a subdued reception of the work at its Paris premiere in 1912. Only a later production with costumes and set by Chagall significantly contributed to the ballet's success. Today the work is a monument to Impressionist orchestration, incorporating the narration within the sound material. Each instrument is treated in the most effective way possible. Remarkable are the strings' extreme divisi, their harmonics' glissandi, and other enigmatic effects, such as utilizing a wordless chorus. Individual performances without choir likely go back to a makeshift arrangement that Ravel produced to facilitate performance at less prominent venues. The appendix to the Urtext edition includes this alternative version. The Ravel specialist Jean-Francois Monnard has also edited this ballet with detailed attention to the customary Urtext standard. The preface and critical report include numerous references to both genesis and performance history as well as interpretation, correcting also previously handed-down errors. The large format of the conductor's score and orchestral parts are easy to read and support the clarity and transparency of the modern notation without any loss to the magic of Ravel's music. Stay tuned for the publication of the corresponding suites in the upcoming years. $316.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 3 to 4 weeks | | |

| Pavane pour une infante defunte Potenza Music
Euphonium and brass choir SKU: P2.80026 Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arrang...(+)
Euphonium and brass choir SKU: P2.80026 Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arranged by Vanja Lisjak. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.80026). The idea of arranging this piece for large brass ensemble was a result of my intention to present Steven Mead's lyrical qualities and the huge potential of his rich and colorful sound to a Croatian audience when he was a guest soloist in Zagreb. While we spoke about the program for the concert, I mentioned Ravel's Pavane as a nice addition to my Concerto and the other Pavane (one by Faure, for solo euphonium and harp), and Steven supported the idea instantly, as it turned out that this piece was his favorite in his early euphonium soloist days. As he soon became a world famous virtuoso, where listeners constantly asked for higher and faster bravuras, I gladly used my chance to present the forgotten poetic and warm side of the euphonium. I avoided the fashionable stereotypes of many of today's composers--making an artist break his fingers or lips by choosing extra fast pieces originally for violin or flute and arranging it for tuba. The inspiring challenge was to create the atmosphere present in Ravel's own orchestration of this piece, where no instrument plays a typical solo role. It wasn't easy to achieve so many colors without strings and woodwinds. Yet, here we have the euphonium as a lead voice while it is also well incorporated into vertical blocks with french horns, trombones, and trumpets. Full symphony sized brass sections function here mainly to provide harmonic body, with the great percussive and melodic help of marimba and vibraphone. The result is an arrangement that is demanding in a sense of creating the right flow (not too slow - as Ravel hated it this way). Pavane is, after all, a dance. A recording of this arrangement can be found on Bocchino's CD release Croatian Euphonic Brass, together with a recording of another publication by Potenza, an arrangement of the Pavane by G. Faure, presented on this CD in the best possible way--by Steven Mead, who inspired me to try to give these masterpieces new shape. $49.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

| Nocturne, Op. 33 Piano solo Schott
Piano - difficult SKU: HL.49045865 For Piano. Composed by Charles ...(+)
Piano - difficult SKU: HL.49045865 For Piano. Composed by Charles Koechlin. Edited by Otfrid Nies. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Piano Solo. Classical. Softcover. Composed 1907. Op. 33. 20 pages. Duration 720 seconds. Schott Music #ED20779. Published by Schott Music (HL.49045865). ISBN 9790001170710. UPC: 888680784263. 9.0x12.0x0.097 inches. This first print is a rarity: the highly virtuoso, evocative 'Nocturne' owes its creation to an instrument that has only survived as a museum piece. Gustave Lyon, the director of the French instrument maker Pleyel, commissioned Charles Koechlin as well as several other French composers (such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel) to write works for the 'harpe chromatique' developed by him around 1900. In contrast to the common pedal harp, the chromatic harp allows for an unlimited modulatory range. Nevertheless, the instrument did not gain much acceptance and remained exotic. Koechlin was aware of the difficulty of introducing and establishing new instruments. He therefore, from the very beginning, had the piano as an alternative of equal value in mind when writing his Nocturne. $20.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 24 hours - In Stock | | |
