Ravel : Valses Nobles et Sentimentales

Plus other updates and corrections

With tongue in cheek Ravel thus presents his Valses Nobles et Sentimentales : ‘I have never, in writing, sought anything other than the delectable and ever new pleasure in a frivolous pursuit’. (Taken from a novel by Henri de Régnier — Les Rencontres de monsieur de Bréot). PPE presents another definitive, audacious and turbo-charged edition, replacing the earlier publication of September 2017. In addition to the usual adroit solutions to problems posed in the 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.
