In 1920, Maurice Ravel was asked by his publisher Durand to contribute to an issue of the magazine 'La Revue musicale' dedicated to Claude Debussy. A supplement was to contain the first movement of Ravel's Sonata for violin and cello as well as other contributions by Debussy's friends, including Stravinsky, Satie, Dukas, Bartók, de Falla and others. This first movement, the autograph of which is lost, subsequently developed into a large-scale, four-movement chamber music work.

This scholarly-critical edition - the first ever of this masterpiece - presents the composition in two playing scores. The preface provides information about the history of the work, in which the rehearsals with the violinist Hélène Jourdan-Morhange and the cellist Maurice Maréchal play an important role.
The sources for this new edition are the engraver's model, the personal autograph scores (with earlier versions of some passages) used during rehearsals, as well as the scores of the first edition owned by Jourdan-Morhange and Maréchal, which contain additions by Jourdan-Morhange. The appendix contains the musicians' original fingerings, which were not reproduced in the first edition and represent an important document for performance practice in the early 20th century.

- With 2 playing scores in 25.5 x 32.5 cm format
- The violoncello part does not allow page turns in the first movement; this edition therefore contains an additional violoncello part in reduced print, which presents the first movement on a double page without page turns
- Preface on the history of the work (German/English/French)
- Critical report, facsimile pages and appendix
