Maurice Ravel : Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Arrangement for Piano Four-hands)

Piano Duet (1 Piano, 4 Hands) – Impressionism

Description:

Maurice Ravel had limitless admiration for Debussy's famous orchestral work, going so far as to say in an interview that it was his innermost wish to die to the sounds of this “unique marvel in the whole of music”. Since Debussy had himself already published a version for two pianos, Ravel in 1910 undertook an arrangement for piano 4-hands. This transcription was published that same year and made an impact all of its own. This G. Henle Urtext edition, edited by Denis Herlin, is the first to evaluate all the available sources, including those related to Ravel's arrangement, providing an authoritative text. The fingerings are provided by Andreas Groethuysen of the famous Tal & Groethuysen Duo.

Product Features:

• Arranged by Ravel: The score presents Ravel's own creative arrangement of Debussy's masterpiece for piano four-hands, offering a unique interpretive perspective.
• Authoritative Urtext Edition: The score is meticulously edited by Debussy specialist Denis Herlin, being the first edition to evaluate all available sources for the arrangement.
• Expert Fingering: Includes fingerings by Andreas Groethuysen, a renowned specialist in the piano duo field, offering invaluable guidance for coordinated performance.
• Orchestral Texture: The arrangement effectively translates the rich and nuanced orchestral sound of the original work onto the piano duet.

Performance Tips:

The key to performing this arrangement is achieving an orchestral clarity and transparency while maintaining the work's delicate atmosphere. Pianists should focus on a seamless legato and a subtle blend of sound to evoke the hazy, dreamlike quality of the original. The duo must coordinate their pedaling and dynamic shaping meticulously, paying close attention to Ravel's nuanced instructions to bring out the subtle shifting colors and textures.

About the Composer & Editors:

Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) was one of the greatest French masters of orchestration, whose works were often influenced by Debussy. Claude Debussy (1862–1918)'s original orchestral work is considered a milestone of Impressionism. The editing team includes Denis Herlin (Editor), a prominent Debussy specialist, and Andreas Groethuysen (Fingering), a celebrated pianist in the duo repertoire.

莫里斯・拉威爾 : 牧神的午後前奏曲（鋼琴四手聯彈改編版）

鋼琴四手聯彈（單鋼琴）– 印象樂派

簡介:

莫里斯・拉威爾（Maurice Ravel）對德布西著名的管弦樂作品有著無限的欽佩，他甚至在一次採訪中表示，他最大的願望是「在聽到這首『音樂界獨一無二的奇蹟』的聲音時死去」。德布西本人已出版了一個雙鋼琴版本，而拉威爾則在1910年進行了鋼琴四手聯彈的改編。這份轉錄作品於同年在巴黎出版，並產生了屬於自己的影響力。這份G. Henle原典版，由德布西專家丹尼斯·赫林（Denis Herlin）編訂，首次評估了所有可用的原始資料，確保了樂譜的權威性。指法由著名的塔爾與格羅伊特休森二重奏（Tal & Groethuysen Duo）成員安德烈亞斯·格羅伊特休森（Andreas Groethuysen）提供。

產品特點:

• 拉威爾親自改編: 本樂譜呈現了拉威爾本人對德布西傑作進行的鋼琴四手聯彈改編，提供了獨特的詮釋視角。
• 權威原典版: 樂譜由德布西專家丹尼斯·赫林編訂，首次評估了所有可用資源，確保了學術準確性。
• 專家指法: 包含由鋼琴二重奏專家安德烈亞斯·格羅伊特休森提供的指法，為協調一致的演奏提供了無價的指導。
• 管弦樂織體: 該改編作品有效地將原曲豐富而細膩的管弦樂聲響轉譯到鋼琴二重奏上。

演奏提示:

演奏《牧神的午後前奏曲》的關鍵在於實現管弦樂般的清晰度與透明度，同時保持作品微妙的氛圍。鋼琴家應專注於無縫的連奏（legato）和細膩的音色融合，以營造原曲朦朧、夢幻般的特質。二重奏必須細緻地協調踏板和力度變化，密切關注拉威爾精準的指示，以呈現出不斷變化的色彩和織體。

收錄曲目:

• 牧神的午後前奏曲（鋼琴四手聯彈改編版）
