The consummate craftsmanship, elegance, and originality of Maurice Ravel
(1875-1937) define this collection of masterly compositions for the
piano. Here, in one volume are Ma mère l'Oye ("Mother Goose"), Valse
nobles et sentimentales, Le Tombeau de Couperin, and three shorter
pieces for piano: Prèlude, A la manière de Borodine (Valse, ) and
A la manière de Emmanuel Chabrier. Ravel's own piano transcription of
his world-famous La Valse completes this attractive edition of the
master's most famous compositions.
Intermediate and advanced pianists will welcome this superb compilation
of piano classics, reproduced from authoritative French sources. Notes
throughout introduce the works, their origins, and their context within
the composer's output.
