Orenstein A. (cur.); Restagno E. (cur.)
Ravel. Scritti e interviste
br. A un giornalista di «Excelsior» Ravel dichiara nel 1931: «... io lavoro troppo e dormo solo due ore per notte. Ora, la resistenza umana non è senza limiti. Ma tutto il piacere dell'esistenza consiste nell'incalzare la perfezione sempre un poco più da vicino, nel rendere un po' meglio il fremito segreto della vita». Non è difficile riconoscere in frasi del genere quel tono di dandysmo che aveva caratterizzato la gioventù di Ravel, ma tanti anni sono passati dall'epoca delle prime illuminazioni e in quello sforzo per «rendere un po' meglio il fremito segreto della vita» l'estetica ha dovuto misurarsi con i tormenti del quotidiano, con le solitudini, con le delusioni, con le ondate non certo generose delle mode culturali, alle quali si può opporre soltanto la ricerca delle proprie ragioni più intime, ed ecco allora profilarsi dietro l'immagine dell'uomo elegante e del conversatore raffinato la sagoma del lavoratore insonne, instancabile nell'inseguire il miraggio di quella perfezione che sola è capace di fondare e garantire l'esistenza. Sono qui raccolti gli scritti (in gran parte frutto della sua attività di critico musicale) e le interviste rilasciate da Ravel a giornali di tutto il mondo in occasione delle sue tournée: documenti rivelatori della personalità dell'uomo e dell'artista, fin qui sparpagliati in un numero impressionante di pubblicazioni in lingua, e comunque di difficile accesso, in alcuni casi introvabili.

Piovano Attilio
Invito all'ascolto di Ravel
br. Ravel. Solo il Boléro? I tratti di una tormentata esistenza e lo snobismo intellettuale di un sofisticato artista dalla variegata produzione. La raffinatezza della scrittura pianistica, il lucido modernismo - la componente 'meccanica' della sua pagina più nota che Stravinskij poneva in relazione con i cromosomi del padre svizzero - la scaltrita maestria di orchestratore, la fascinosa musica da camera, le conturbanti liriche, la matrice folklorica; le seduzioni dell'esotismo e della letteratura, del mondo iberico - la madre era basca - e dell'universo fiabesco. Il teatro, i balletti, i due concerti per pianoforte, la collocazione critica entro il '900 europeo. Questo e altro in un denso Invito all'ascolto. Ravel. Non solo il Boléro.

3 contemporary editions: Ma mère l'oye Le Tombeau de Couperin and Valses nobles
- Ma mère l'Oye; 5 Pièces enfantines pour piano à 4 mains . Transcription pour Piano à 2 mains net 20. Arranged by Jacques Charlot. Paris: Durand & Cie. PN D. & F. 7930. Original publisher's ivory wrappers with titling printed in red and green. 1f. recto printed in light olive green verso blank 18 pp. First Edition later issue. Orenstein 229. Marnat 756. Ravel's original version for piano four-hands premiered in Paris at a concert of the Société musicale independante Salle Gaveau on 20 April 1910 with Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony The orchestrated ballet version premiered in Paris on 28 January 1912 at the Théâtre des Arts. "Ravel drew on the past in Ma mère l'oye which is based on stories by Charles Perrault 1628-1703 the Comtesse d'Aulnoy c1650-1705 and Marie Leprince de Beaumont 1711-80 and Chansons madécasses a setting of poems by Evariste-Désiré de Parny 1753-1814 . The simplicity of Ma mère l'oye was a studied evocation of childhood; the influence of Satie's Gymnopédies on the 'Pavane de la belle au bois dormant' and 'Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête' is striking both for its melodic naivety and its repetitive bass movement." Barbara L. Kelly in Grove Music Online<br/><br/>- Le Tombeau de Couperin Prélude - Forlane - Menuet - Rigaudon Suite d'Orchestre. Paris: Durand & Cie PN D. & F. 9810 after 1919. Arranged for piano 4-hands by Lucien Garban 1877-1959. Original publisher's dark green wrappers. 1f. recto title verso blank 31 pp. Orenstein 234. Marnat 763. Premiered in Paris at a concert of the Société musicale indépendantem Salle Gaveau on 11 April 1919 with Marguerite Long. Le Tombeau de Couperin was conceived amid the turmoil of the first world war. "In 1917 Ravel received a temporary discharge from military duty . In this restful setting he completed Le Tombeau de Couperin much of which had been written in 1914. Each of the piano suite's six pieces was dedicated to the memory of a fallen comrade in arms. The 'Rigaudon' for example was dedicated to the composer's childhood friends Pierre adn Pascal Gaudin the 'Prélude' to Lieutenant Jacques Carlot a cousin of Jacques Durand who had transcribed several of Ravel's works and the 'Toccata' to Captain Joseph de Marliave the husban of Marguerite Long." Orenstein: Ravel p. 75.<br/><br/>- Valses nobles & sentimentales. Paris: Durand & Cie PN D. & F. 8247 1911. Original publisher's green printed wrappers. 1f. recto title printed in green and black verso blank 25 pp. First Edition later issue. Orenstein 231. Marnat 757. Ex libris American composer and music publisher Ray Green 1908-1997 with his handstamp to outer corner of upper wrapper. Premiered in Paris at a concert of the Société musicale indépendante Salle Gaveau on 9 May 1911 by Louis Auber. "In the Valses nobles et sentimentales Ravel creates a powerful tension between the Romantic idiom and classical restraint; he selfconsciously claimed that he was aiming for 'a style that is simpler and clearer in which the harmony is harder and the lines of the music are made to show up." Barbara L. Kelly in Grove Music Online<br/> <br/>All folio. Wrappers worn some detached. Some internal wear and browning; signatures of former owners; handstamps; other minor defects. unknown books

Half mid-tan calf with marbled boards original publisher's wrappers printed in black and red bound in. 1f. blank 1f. title printed in red and black 1f. printed dedication "À Madame Jean Cruppi Hommage de respectueuse amitié Maurice Ravel" 1f. cast list i index ii performance notes 114 pp. <br/><br/>With an autograph inscription signed by Ravel to dedication leaf: "et à G - Jean - Aubry en moins respectueuse amitié Maurice Ravel." <br/><br/>Wrappers browned and very slightly defective. Slightly worn and browned; small tear to head of dedication repaired; small publisher's monogramatic handstamp to lower edge of verso of last page; contemporary newspaper clippings to recto of blank leaf preceding title with synopsis and review of the work by Gabriel Fauré. First Edition. Orenstein: Ravel Man and Musician p. 228. <br/><br/>L'Heure Espagnole was first performed in Paris at the Opéra Comique on May 19 1911 to a libretto closely based on the play by Franc-Nohain. <br/><br/>Madame Jean Cruppi the dedicatee convinced the director of the Opéra-Comique Albert Carré to stage the work in spite of its risqué story line. "In a letter of 17 May 1911 two days before the première Ravel wrote: 'What I've tried to do is fairly ambitious: to breathe new life into the Italian opera buffa: following only the principle . the French language like any other has its own accents and inflections of pitch.' At the same time he referred to Musorgsky's Zhenit'ba 'The Marriage' as the work's only real ancestor. It also forms part of a larger group of Spanish works that spanned Ravel's whole career and the necessary Spanish colouring provided him with a reason for a virtuoso use of the modern orchestra which he felt was 'perfectly designed for underlining and exaggerating comic effects'." Roger Nichols in Grove Music Online. Indeed composer-writer Reynaldo Hahn somewhat critically referred to Ravel's technique as "a sort of transcendent jujitsu."<br/><br/>Noted music critic Georges Jean-Aubry 1882-1949 "belonged to a circle of avant-garde musicians and littérateurs and was a frequent contributor to periodicals. Encouraged by his 20-year friendship with Debussy he wrote enthusiastically in support of contemporary French composers noting similarities between their music and that of the 18th century Couperin Rameau. He wrote perceptively in praise of Spanish composers Falla Granados Albéniz but rejected German Romanticism as expressed in the works of Wagner and Strauss." Grove Music Online. A.

Ravel Maurice. 1875 1937 & Long Marguerite. 1874 1966
Boléro - Autograph Musical Quotation
Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Rare autograph musical quotation on an album page two measures the instantly recognizable tune from Boléro signed "Maurice Ravel" and dated 17/1/32 and signed additionally beneath on the same date by the important pianist so closely associated with the composer Marguerite Long.  In fine condition also signed on the verso by the pianist Alexander Borovsky. 5.2 x 7.5 inches 13 x 19 cm. <br style="">The premiere of the G major Concerto by Ravel conducted by the composer and featuring the pianist Marguerite Long had taken place just three days prior on January 14 1932 at the Salle Pleyel after which the two musicians had immediately embarked together on a European tour that would last until April. At the premiere in a program largely repeated on the tour the Concerto had appeared in a program of Ravel works exclusively including Pavane pour une infante défunte and Boléro. Long herself reported that Ravel grew so tired of Boléro that when she would hum the tune in his presence he would snap: "Quit singing that" to which she would retort "Oh! my friend you shouldn't have composed it then!" As quoted in Cecilia Dunoyer "Marguerite Long: A Life in French Music 1874-1966" p. 95<br style="">Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein the one-movement orchestral piece Boléro was premiered in 1928 and is Ravel's most famous musical composition.  Nevertheless it is surprisingly uncommon in musical quotations from the composer perhaps as Long reports because he himself grew to find the tune tiresome!<br style=""> unknown books

Ravel Maurice. 1875 1937 Monteux Pierre. 1875 1964
Daphnis et Chloé - SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY MONTEUX
Paris: Durand & Cie 1910. First. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Piano score to Ravel's ballet in three scenes signed and inscribed opposite the title page by Pierre Monteux who conducted the work's premiere in 1912. He has boldly signed and inscribed to his sister-in-law Hilda Davis wife of bandleader Meyer Davis: "As the creator of this score whose name has been omited sic -- I do not know why!! I am going to dedicate that copy to my dear sister in law Hilda Emery Davis with my love." Indeed although the names of the original dancers including Nijinksy as Daphnis choreographer Michel Fokine and scenery designer Léon Bakst are all listed on the title page Monteux's name does not appear. A lovely inscription showing Monteux's characteristic good humor and charm! From the estate of Monteux's daughter Nancie Monteux Barendse.  <br>Upright folio. 10 x 13 inches 25 x 32.5 cm. 114 pp. PN D&F 7748. Softcover with light brown textured paper slipcovers printed in red and black in an elegant box bound in blue cloth. Some light wear to the edges of the box and slipcovers but the score itself in fine condition. Orenstein Ravel: Man and Musician p. 177. <br style="">Ravel began work on the score in 1909 after a commission from Sergei Diaghilev. It was premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris by his Ballets Russes on 8 June 1912. At almost an hour long Daphnis et Chloé is Ravel's longest work. In spite of the ballet's duration four discernible leitmotifs give musical unity to the score. The music some of the composer's most passionate is widely regarded as some of Ravel's best with extraordinarily lush harmonies typical of the impressionist movement in music. Even during the composer's lifetime contemporary commentators described this ballet as his masterpiece for orchestra with Stravinsky hailing it as "one of the most beautiful products in all of French music." Monteux recorded the work later on with the London Symphony in 1959. Durand & Cie hardcover books
