A First Book of Ravel

For the Beginning Pianist with Downloadable MP3s
Although he worked within the traditions of his day, Maurice Ravel forged a distinctive musical language of his own. This collection of 29 specially arranged pieces offers beginners the pleasure and satisfaction of playing the French composer’s most popular works.Simplified arrangements include “Musette,” “Menuet,” “Rigaudon,” and “Prélude” from Le tombeau de Couperin; “Pantomime,” “Interlude,” “Danse légère et gracieuse de Daphnis,” and “Lyceion Dance” from Daphnis et Chloé; “March,” “Little Tom Thumb,” and “Conversation of Beauty and the Beast” from Mother Goose Suite; “Malagueña” and “Prélude à la nuit” from Rapsodie espagnole; and other selections. All pieces are available as downloadable MP3s (see inside the book for details).
