MAURICE RAVEL – Introduction and Allegro
MAURICE RAVEL (1875 - 1937) This new engraving of one of the greatest pieces in the harp repertoire is a treasure trove of useful information. There are solutions to problematic passages by Henriette Renié, Marcel Grandjany, Pierre Jamet, David Watkins, and Phia Berghout, as well as Grandjany's cadenza insert, which Ravel sanctioned. A glossary of French terms, as well as a list of corrections for all of the instruments, round out this fresh look at one of the most important pieces for harp.

“I think your forensic approach to your research (on the Introduction and Allegro) is illuminating and miraculous! It will be the only edition for years to come and probably forever (you can quote me!)”
“I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for your new Ravel edition. It is beautifully done, extremely clear, and I appreciate the details and background information you provide for edits and additions. Thanks for all your hard work!”
“I wanted to let you know that on Saturday, June 22, I played the Ravel Introduction and Allegro using your edition of the piece in a masterclass with Elizabeth Remy Johnson at AHS. Your edition was extremely helpful to me for learning this piece when my youth orchestra conductor told me in March we were to perform this piece at our final concert in May. Thank you so much for writing an edition with clear pedals and notes! I did not have to rewrite any pedals. It wasn’t hard to adjust to seeing them printed.”
“It is wonderful work you are doing, revisiting and publishing all these wonderful works.”
