Le Tombeau de Couperin by Maurice Ravel Piano Solo - Sheet Music

By Maurice Ravel

This major 20th-century Neoclassical work is Ravel's last work for piano solo. A tombeau is a lament, and each of the six movements is intended as a musical epitaph to friends lost in the war. The difficulty found here, especially in the Toccata, is understood when one learns that Ravel studied Liszt's transcendental etudes in preparations for writing the suite. The meticulously researched stylistic information and clear, accurate text of this performing edition will prove to be invaluable to the advanced pianist.

    This edition offers practical fingering options. It is tremendously helpful to achieve smooth phrasing and brush with tone colours without struggling with fingers.

    Le Tombeau de Couperin

    This is the best available edition of this piece, and given the degree of difficulty , with so many sharps thrown in that the music at times looks like a spool of barbed wire, clarity is all-important. Fortunately, the text is generously laid-out and extremely legible, with useful fingering suggestions and occasionally Ravel's own stylistic commands. The introduction is full and informative.
