Le premier mouvement de la Sonatine pour piano de Maurice Ravel vit probablement le jour en 1903. Ce qui est sûr, c\'est que le compositeur le joua le 8 janvier 1904 lors d\'une soirée au salon de Marguerite de Saint-Marceaux. On ne sait par contre pas exactement quand il composa les deux autres mouvements. Si l\'oeuvre fut très favorablement accueillie lors de sa création à Lyon en 1906, le public parisien lui réserva quant à lui un accueil plutôt réservé. Ravel lui-même semble avoir eu la Sonatine en grande estime, car il inscrivit régulièrement au répertoire de ses récitals cette oeuvre d\'une grande clarté, d\'une facture presque \'classique\'. / Piano Solo / 27 pages / Partition

This collection of sheet music by the great French composer Maurice Ravel features 19 of his greatest pieces, all newly-arranged especially for this volume. The subtle melodies and achingly beautiful harmonies of these lush Impressionist pieces truly do illustrate the sheer Joy Of Ravel.The pieces by Ravel included in this collection rank alongside Debussy as some of the prettiest Piano music ever composed. Ravel himself categorically refused the term 'Impressionist', believing it to be reserved for paintings only, but his music so closely resembles the colourful flourishing and affective beauty of those works of art that it is difficult to resist such a description. Featuring works like Boléro, Jeux D'Eau, Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte as well as excerpts from La Valse, The Joy Of Ravel for solo Piano sound utterly divine.Pieces like Menuet Antique, Prélude and the selections from Le Tombeau De Couperin perfectly encapsulate what makes Ravel's compositions so incredible. His perfectionist methods resulted in extended harmonies, complexly musical modulations and masterful melodies that make these 19 works of art an unabashed joy to play and to hear. One of the great things about this sheet music book is the visual beauty of the music. With lilting notes and extensive ties, this is not only a work full of aural pleasure but it's some of the nicest-looking notation out there.

Charles Louis Eugène Koechlin (1867-1950) a étudié avec Massenet et Fauré et fonda la Société Musicale Indépendante avec Ravel, Schmitt, Caplet et Huré. Poulenc et Sauguet étaient deux de ses élèves. La composition des organes de Koechlin est publié dans une édition en deux volumes pour la première fois. Qu'il s'agit d'une oeuvre très importante apparaît clairement dans le fait que les créations ont été réalisées par des organistes importants: Olivier Messiaen a joué la Chorale op. 90 et Maurice Duruflé la première Sonatine.Une édition intéressante pour des concerts, des compétitions et de la liturgie. Un enregistrement CD sera publié sur le label ORGANES / IFO. / Orgue
