Titel: "Œuvres choisies pour piano"
This collection brings together thirty years of Ravel compositions. It holds famous works like the Sonatine, as well as lesser-known pieces such as the Menuet en Ut dièse mineur or the 1913 Prélude. There are also the transcriptions, a world Ravel was quite familiar with, having been responsible for more than a few of them himself. However, he entrusted the solo piano arrangements of Ma mère l’Oye and Boléro to two of his closest friends, Jacques Charlot et Roger Branga, who were both employed as transcribers by Éditions Durand. From the easiest piece to the most challenging, every pianist will find something to enjoy here, even in the privacy of their own home. However, when performing in public, everyone should remember Ravel’s own advice: “Keep playing as if it were for yourself alone, without worrying about the audience, which is actually the surest method of winning them over”.

Ma mère l'Oye pour piano
17,99 €*
The suite Ma mère l’Oye was composed by Maurice Ravel for piano four hands in 1908–1910. For these “cinq pièces enfantines” [five children’s pieces], the composer drew inspiration from the tales of three famous authors: Charles Perrault (1628–1703), Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville (1652–1705), and Madame Leprince de Beaumont (1711–1776). The transcription for solo piano was written by Jacques Charlot (1885–1915) in 1910, the same year that the score for piano four hands was published. The world of childhood inspired Ravel on several occasions: the only poem he ever wrote himself to set to music was called Le Noël des Jouets [The Toys’ Christmas], and his heightened sense of childhood and enchantment found full expression in L'Enfant et les Sortilèges (1919–1925).
Menuet sur le nom de Haydn
10,99 €*
It was Jules Écorcheville (1872–1915) who took the initiative in 1909 of organizing a unique commemoration of the centenary of the death of Joseph Haydn (1732–1809). The musicologist suggested to several French composers that they should write a piece based on the name of Haydn. It was on this occasion that Maurice Ravel composed the Menuet. Écorcheville’s initiative follows the tradition of the musical tombeau, a piece dedicated to the memory of a musician friend who has died. Particularly cultivated in the Baroque period, it re-emerged with renewed vigour in the early twentieth century, as witnessed by another famous piece by Ravel: the Tombeau de Couperin (1917).
Boléro pour piano
15,99 €*
On November 22, 1928, Ida Rubinstein’s ballet to the music of Maurice Ravel’s Boléro premiered at the Opéra Garnier in Paris: it was a resounding success. An orchestral version of the Boléro was soon available, and leading orchestras from across the globe soon made it part of their repertoire. Now, all that remained was to enable smaller-scale performances, to introduce the work into the homes of passionate pianists. This goal was achieved by transcriptions. In 1929, Lucien Roger Garban (1877–1959), official arranger of Éditions Durand before being named artistic director, worked with the composer on the solo piano transcription. As a long-standing friend, not only did Ravel trust him to proofread.
