Cambridge University Press0521648564 - The Cambridge Companion to RavelEdited by Deborah MawerFrontmatterMore informationThe Cambridge Companion to RavelThis Companion provides a comprehensive introduction to the life,music and compositional aesthetic of the French composerMaurice Ravel (1875–1937). Leading international scholars offer apowerful reassessment of this most private and elusive musician,examining his work in detail within its cultural context. Supportedby many music examples, the volume explores the full range ofRavel’s work – piano repertory, chamber works, orchestral music,ballets, songs and operas – and makes illuminating comparisonswith the music of Couperin, Gounod, Chabrier and Debussy. Thechapters present the latest research focusing on topics such asRavel’s exoticism and Spanishness and conclude by analysing theperformance and reception of his music, including previouslyuntranslated reviews. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ravel’sbirth, the Companion as a whole aims to secure a solid foundationfor Ravel studies in the twenty-first century and will appeal to allenthusiasts and students of his music.The editor, Deborah Mawer, is Lecturer in Music at LancasterUniversity, where she specialises in French music (c. 1890–1939).She is author of Darius Milhaud (1997) and ‘Darius Milhaud, LaCréation du monde’ (1996), an analytical listening guide.

Cambridge University Press0521648564 - The Cambridge Companion to RavelEdited by Deborah MawerFrontmatterMore informationNote on the textIn order to avoid unnecessary repetition, references to frequently cited Ravel textsare given in short-title form in the supporting endnotes (and Appendix); the fullreference can be found in the Select bibliography. Where no author is given for ashort title, the item is usually an unsigned interview with Ravel (or his ‘Anautobiographical sketch’, as dictated to Roland-Manuel). Unless otherwiseindicated, endnote references relate to the most recent edition of any text detailedin the Select bibliography. More occasional references to Ravel (and non-Ravel)literature are given in full at their first citation in the notes for any one particularchapter.Across the book, there are so many references to Arbie Orenstein’s celebratedsource book of Ravel readings that it makes sense to abbreviate this as follows:RR Arbie Orenstein (ed. and trans.), A Ravel Reader (New York: ColumbiaUniversity Press, 1990).References to articles or interviews reprinted in RR are given in their Englishtranslation; however, since RR is presently out of print, the original source is alsoincluded in the full reference (unless stated otherwise, page numbers are for RRonly and include Orenstein’s editorial notes). Titles given in French refer to theoriginal source (or, if appropriate, to its reprint in Orenstein’s French edition:Maurice Ravel: Lettres, écrits, entretiens (Paris: Flammarion, 1989)); translatedquotations in the text have usually been supplied by the author of the chapter.Musical references employ a mixture of bar numbers and rehearsal figuresdepending on the available editions of the work concerned. Rehearsal figures arestill the main means of referencing orchestral or staged works, and so thefollowing shorthand has been used in the main text: Fig. 1 1 refers to the barpreceding Figure 1; Fig. 1 denotes the relevant bar-line (analogous to the start of amovement or scene); Fig.1 1 refers to the first full bar of Figure 1. This shorthandis used just to identify a particular starting point; to avoid any confusion, extent isindicated more fully, as in Fig. 1, bars 1–2.In musical discussion the sign ‘/’, as in G/Fs or major/minor, indicates asimultaneity whereas the sign ‘–’, as in G–Fs or I–V, indicates a progression.Separation of pitches by commas indicates a neutral, basic listing, such as for thecomponents of a scalic collection or chordal formation. Modes are referred to inthe same way as major or minor scales (e.g. C major), hence C aeolian or Ephrygian.[xv] Cambridge University Presswww.cambridge.org
