cheap and good
18 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
I give this book 5 stars because it is the cheapest way to own the best editions of Ravel's greatest masterpieces for piano. The last reviewer is correct in stating that these are reprints of the original french editions, but those editions remain the best since there currently exists no critical or scholarly editions of ravel's piano works. The Dover edition even corrects some errors that existed in the original editions. The last reiviewer likes Nancy Bricard's editions (and other editions published by Alfred edited by Maurice Hinson) but I think Nancy Bricard got a little too happy when she got access to Ravel's manuscript, and purposefully included obvious errors into the score, including a footnote explaining that it's an error, instead of just correcting it. Alfred can hardly be trusted for scholarly editing, so for now, this edition remains the best buy.

praise for Piano Masterpieces from a Ravel buff
6 Jun 2000
Format: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!

An excellent presentation of some of Ravel's greatest works
13 April 2000
Format:Paperback
Dover Publications does a fantastic job of providing high-quality scores at a minimum of cost. This collection of Maurice Ravel's compositions for solo piano is no exception. A few of the compositions in this collection are Sonatine, Gaspard de la nuit, Pavane pour une infante défunte, and 4 others... You will not find a better offer than this, unless it's published by Dover.
