A collection of prose poems by the French Romantic Aloysius Bertrand inspired Ravel to write his piano cycle “Gaspard de la nuit”. Unlike earlier works he does not merely create an atmospheric depiction of the literary model – in a fascinating manner he recounts the eerie-grotesque scenes using musical means. His “three romantic poems of transcendental virtuosity” were supposed to surpass the technical refinement of Balakirev’s “Islamey” (HN 793) which was considered unplayable at the time. Our edition not only offers impeccable Urtext in a clear larger format: the corresponding poem by Bertrand prefaces each part in three languages.?A collection of prose poems by the French Romantic Aloysius Bertrand inspired Ravel to write his piano cycle 'Gaspard de la nuit'.

12 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Of the twelve composers in our series “At the piano” Franz Schubert was undoubtedly the least at home at the piano – but nevertheless what masterpieces he left us for this instrument! There is hardly any pianist who is not immediately captivated by the cheerful yet melancholy atmosphere of Schubert’s impromptus and Moments musicaux. Even the simple pieces by Schubert at the beginning of this volume have surprising twists in store that afford them a profundity of their own. Nor are his dances mere “entertainment”. No matter how charming they may seem on the surface there is always a wistful tone in his waltzes and ländler. This seems to reflect the gravely ill composer’spresentiment of his own death.
