Ravel Miroirs

PPE presents a definitive, audacious and turbo-charged edition, replacing the earlier publication of September 2017. In addition to the usual adroit solutions to problems posed in this extremely challenging text, you will find a few adaptations taken from Ravel’s orchestral score and some preparatory exercises. 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.

Noctuelles : This deliberately “clumsy” piece moves between key and time-signatures as often as a noctuid moth seeks nectar from a flower. In spite of over 25 changes of key, Ravel preferred to stay with a key-signature of 5 flats, which results in a raft of (dare I say gauche) accidentals. 

With greetings from France.
