La Valse in Full Score (Dover Orchestral Music Scores)
Product Description
La Valse in Full Score (Dover Orchestral Music Scores)
Ravel originally conceived of his "choreographic poem" La Valse (The Waltz) as a tribute to Johann Strauss and "a sort of apotheosis of the Viennese waltz." But this is a waltz far removed from the urbane gaiety of old Vienna. A masterpiece of lush and brilliant orchestration, it is a work of considerable emotional depth in which the initial series of elegant waltzes are transformed into what Ravel describes as "a fantastic and fatal whirling" loading to a powerful, turbulent climax.
Now musicians, music students, conductors — any music lover — can study La Valse in this high-quality edition, reproduced from the authoritative Durand original.
