This collection of sheet music by the great French composer Maurice Ravel features 19 of his greatest pieces, all newly-arranged especially for this volume. The subtle melodies and achingly beautiful harmonies of these lush Impressionist pieces truly do illustrate the sheer Joy Of Ravel.The pieces by Ravel included in this collection rank alongside Debussy as some of the prettiest Piano music ever composed. Ravel himself categorically refused the term 'Impressionist', believing it to be reserved for paintings only, but his music so closely resembles the colourful flourishing and affective beauty of those works of art that it is difficult to resist such a description. Featuring works like Boléro, Jeux D'Eau, Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte as well as excerpts from La Valse, The Joy Of Ravel for solo Piano sound utterly divine.Pieces like Menuet Antique, Prélude and the selections from Le Tombeau De Couperin perfectly encapsulate what makes Ravel's compositions so incredible. His perfectionist methods resulted in extended harmonies, complexly musical modulations and masterful melodies that make these 19 works of art an unabashed joy to play and to hear. One of the great things about this sheet music book is the visual beauty of the music. With lilting notes and extensive ties, this is not only a work full of aural pleasure but it's some of the nicest-looking notation out there. Certainly in this case, what you see is what you get, simply The Joy Of Ravel.The Joy Of... series is a constantly growing collection of musical editions that is now recognised and loved throughout the world.

Par FLAMENT NATALIA (Arr.). La voix, la mélodie, le mouvement... Ces trois mots m'ont inspirée pour cette aventure - les réunir ! J'ai exposé dans ce volume ma version personnelle des airs d'opéra : tout en gardant ma propre lecture, je les ai adaptés à la carrure des exercices (le nombre pair des phrases de 8 mesures dans la plupart des cas). Les morceaux sont présentés dans l'ordre correspondant au déroulement d'un cours de danse le plus courant. Précédés d'une introduction stylisée, ces extraits peuvent aider les élèves à revivre le contenu émotionnel de la mélodie et de l'exprimer au travers des mouvements de la danse. Observer comment la parole chantée influence l'expressivité du mouvement, lire l'émotion provoquée par la tonalité et la dynamique du morceau sur les visages des élèves - c'est la plus belle récompense de cette belle aventure !
