Ravel
needed only two weeks of
intensive concentration
to orchestrate his piano
suite Valses nobles et
sentimentales, which was
given its premiere
performance in March
1911. Consisting of seven
waltzes and one epilogue,
the work stamped Ravel as
a creative personality
whose masterpiece
breathed an unbelievably
new kind of musicality
and incredibly intensive
poetry. Let us not forget
that this was twelve
years before La Valse,
with which it shares a
number of similarities.
The new edition of the
complete performance
material in Breitkopf's
Urtext series was
prepared by the Ravel
expert Jean-Francois
Monnard.
