About this arrangement

Orchestra (4(2picc).3(cor ang).3(B-clar).3.sarrusophone – 4.3.3.1 – timp.perc– 2hp – cel – str) SKU: BR.PB-5543 Urtext. Composed by Maurice Ravel. Edited by Jean Francois Monnard. Orchestra; Softcover. Partitur-Bibliothek (Score Library). Early modern. Study Score. 108 pages. Duration 15'. Breitkopf and Haertel #PB 5543. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.PB-5543). ISBN 9790004213537. 6.5 x 9 inches. After "Bolero" and "La Valse", a third, often-played work by Ravel is now entering Breitkopf's orchestral program, obviously in a Breitkopf Urtext edition that was supervised by the Ravel expert Jean-Francois Monnard. As a compositional destination around 1900, Spain was in the air, as is also confirmed by Debussy's Iberia. Monnard's incisive preface brilliantly draws links between the two composers who, along with Igor Stravinsky, were working in Paris during those years. The "Rapsodie espagnole" qualifies above all as a masterpiece of Ravel's instrumental magic. This fireworks of orchestration demands a reliable and purchasable performance material that can grace the library of every professional orchestra. The "Rapsodie espagnole" qualifies above all as a masterpiece of Ravel's instrumental magic - a fireworks of orchestration!
