Ravel : re-editions

With a definitive version of the Debussy Preludes now successfully completed, I am turning my attention to early editing attempts at Ravel, and have been much enjoying revising his delectable Sonatine. I am happy to announce that quite a few cunning solutions have been found within the composer’s intricate and ofttimes challenging text. 

The first movement was written for a competition in 1903 promoted by an Anglo-French magazine, the Weekly Critical Review, which eventually cancelled and went bankrupt. 

I have also taken the opportunity to correct a number of regrettable errors, both large and small, sometimes pinpointed by the readership, and to generally improve the layout.
