Description:
It was unmistakably Liszt's piano work "Les jeux d'eau à la Villa d'Este" that inspired Ravel to write one of his most famous works in 1901. The piece is formally conceived as a sonata form, dominated in terms of sound by a wide variety of water movements and carried by an innovative, highly virtuoso piano writing against a background of freely flowing, colorful harmony.
Nicolas Southon arrives at new insights by reweighting the main sources. In addition, valuable practical performance testimonies from musicians close to Ravel such as Vlado Perlemuter, Jacques Février and Robert Casadesus are documented. Particular attention is paid to the original part-writing of Ravel's notation. A knowledgeable foreword, a glossary in three languages as well as fingerings (in addition to those by Ravel himself) and notes on interpretation by Ravel specialist Alexandre Tharaud round off this richly informative Urtext edition of the famous work.
