Synopsis

Ravel's Ma mère l'Oye (5 children's pieces), arranged for piano duet by Roger Nichols. In preparing this Urtext edition of Ravel's piano music, Roger Nichols consulted no fewer than 14 sources - including sound recordings by Ravel himself and other pianists with whom the composer worked. As a result he is uniquely qualified to evaluate the complexity of the sources and, with this edition, has provided today's pianists with the tools to make their own well-informed performance choices about this infinitely-rewarding repertoire.

Ravels Ma mère l'Oye (5 Kinderstücke), bearbeitet für Klavier zu 4 Händen von Roger Nichols. Bei der Vorbereitung dieser Urtextausgabe von Ravels Klaviermusik hat Roger Nichols nicht weniger als 14 Quellen konsultiert - darunter Tonaufnahmen von Ravel selbst und anderen Pianisten, mit denen der Komponist zusammenarbeitete. Dadurch ist er in einzigartiger Weise qualifiziert, die Komplexität der Quellen zu bewerten, und mit dieser Ausgabe hat er Pianistinnen und Pianisten von heute das Rüstzeug an die Hand gegeben, um ihre eigenen, gut informierten Aufführungsentscheidungen für dieses unendlich lohnende Repertoire zu treffen.
