3.0 out of 5 stars Affordable, but flawed., Nov 3 2000

Joe Sullins (East Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Piano Masterpieces of Maurice Ravel (Paperback)

This is indeed a very good publication of some very important works by Ravel. Certainly the price alone justifies the purchase, considering Durand editions are still nearly 50% or higher in price. The edition does however, through no fault of Dover because it is a reprint, present some notational flaws that have not been corrected. Nancy Bricard has published a much more authoritative and instructive edition for Alfred Masterworks, for instance of Gaspard de la Nuit. Correcting many of the most obvious of errors. The Dover edition is still reliable, but one must warn that a proper performance dictates cross-reference with other editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars praise for Piano Masterpieces from a Ravel buff, Jun 5 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Piano Masterpieces of Maurice Ravel (Paperback)

The edition is clearly an attractive one. Not only is it an affordable and well layed-out presentation of Ravel's greatest works for solo piano (indeed, one would hardly expect to find Miroirs, Gaspard de la nuit, and Jeux d'eau in one volume), it is also a compilation of the authoritative Durand and original French editions, editions which, when sold separately, are notoriously expensive. A must-have for any serious, ambitious musician, or devoted connoisseur!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of piano's wickedest compositions, Oct 3 2002

Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Piano Masterpieces of Maurice Ravel (Paperback)

This volume is valuable for the inclusion of "Gasparde de la Nuit" and "Jeux D'eau." These are some of Ravel's most alluring piano compositions. They are in some cases almost unplayable (no fault of publisher Dover) but at least you can review the notation along with recordings of these works. Interesting if all you know of Ravel's piano works is "Pavane pour une Enfant Défunte."
