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.
