for the Left Hand for Piano and Orchestra Piano reduction and solo part-In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel’s most thrilling compositions and for Wittgenstein the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career.This scholarly-critical edition of Ravel’s Piano Concerto For The Left Hand is based on previously inaccessible and unknown sources. The editor Douglas Woodfull-Harris was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace the work’s evolutionfrom Ravel’s autograph working copy to the first printed edition.A source of key importance to our new edition is a handwritten French copy of Ravel’s own Piano reduction (the autograph is inaccessible) that he gave to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsing the work. This copy is the sole source reflecting Wittgenstein’s own interpretation and containing his changes to the final cadenza. It also helps us to understand omissions in the first edition of the score as well as the Piano reduction and enabled the editor amongst other things to correct a great many notes which could be found in previous editions including the solo Piano part.The Piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel’s and Wittgenstein’s fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.Score and orchestral parts in large format (25.5 x 32.5 cm)Includes source descriptions and a Critical Commentary with alternative readings (Eng)Informative Introduction on the work’s history and genesis (Ger/Eng/Fr)With facsimile pagesPiano reduction with separate Urtext solo part enclosedFull score & parts (BA7881) and two-Piano reduction (BA7881-90) available for sale

Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) was greatly influenced by his contemporaries Ravel Debussy and Roussel yet implemented his own unique style. His Figures De Résonance is an excellent duet for Two Pianos. This Dutilleux piece was first published in 1980 and is made up of four movements.Figures De Résonance is a group of sequences which forms a variety of sounds within an acoustic. It is a virtuosic and modern work with pedalling included throughout. Dutilleux's Figures De Résonance remains popular to this day and is a sublime highly complexpiece for performers and audiences alike.

Par ARNOLD MALCOLM. Originally commissioned by the BBC and first performed by Phyllis Sellick and Cyril Smith with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by the composer. . . .has an enchantingly gentle Ravelian slow movement, and an outrageously jazzy finale which was encored at its Proms premiere - understandably as it centres on one of Arnold's most infectious tunes. . .
