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 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 3 to 4 weeks | | |

5650. Published by

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

that Ravel produced to
facilitate performance at

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

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
