Ravel Oeuvres chioisies pour piano

This collection brings together thirty years of piano compositions by Maurice Ravel and offers a comprehensive insight into the work of one of the most important composers of the 20th century. Well-known works such as the Sonatine stand alongside less frequently performed pieces such as the Menuet en ut dièse mineur or the Prélude from 1913.

Ravel's close connection to the world of transcriptions is also evident: while he himself orchestrated numerous works, he entrusted the arrangements of Ma mère l'Oye and Boléro for solo piano to two of his closest friends - Jacques Charlot and Roger Branga, both transcribers at Éditions Durand.

From easily accessible to virtuoso works, this edition offers inspiring repertoire for pianists of all levels. And whether in a quiet room or on the concert stage: Ravel's own advice remains timelessly valid - "Play as if you were playing only for yourself, without thinking of the audience - that is the surest way to win them over."
