In 1920 Maurice Ravel was asked by his publisher Durand to contribute to an issue of La Revue Musicale dedicated to Claude Debussy. A supplement included the first movement of Ravel?s Sonata as well as works contributed by Debussy?s friends Stravinsky Satie Dukas Bartok and de Falla to name only a few. This 1st movement of Ravel?s Sonata of which the autograph is lost then developed into a large scale four movement chamber music work utilizing a more modern music vocabulary than found in almost any other Ravel composition. Bärenreiter?s scholarly-critical edition the first ever of this masterpiece presents the work in two performing scores. It contains anintroduction on the history of the work reflecting Ravel?s work and rehearsals with violinist Hélène Jourdan-Morhange and cellist Maurice Maréchal. Sources for this new edition include the engraved copy the personal autograph scores (with earlier versions of some passages) which were used to rehearse the work and the first edition scores with emendations by Jourdan-Morhange and Maréchal. Included in the appendix are the original fingerings by the performers which are not found in the first edition. They reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice.

Par . String duets tend to be somewhat upstaged by other instrumentations for string chamber music?especially string quartets, yet the string duet is an ideal introduction to the world of chamber music for anyone who is learning an instrument. Fabian Payr and Ruth Bamberger have selected 15 suitable harpsichord works from the Baroque period and have arranged them for two string instruments. These easily playable duet pieces are especially appropriate as material for instrumental lessons but also as repertoire for student performances. They encourage the study of Baroque performance practice and promote the somewhat overlooked subject of chamber music ensemble playing. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Violon et Violoncelle
