Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Ravel, as composer and scenario writer, collaborated with some of the greatest ballet directors, choreographers, designers and dancers of his time, including Diaghilev, Ida Rubinstein, Benois and Nijinsky. In this book, the first study dedicated to Ravel's ballets, Deborah Mawer explores these relationships and argues that ballet music should not be regarded in isolation from its associated arts. Indeed, Ravel's views on ballet and other stage works privilege a synthesized aesthetic. The first chapter establishes a historical and critical context for Ravel's scores, engaging en route with multimedia theory. Six main ballets from Daphnis et Chlo?hrough to Bol? are considered holistically alongside themes such as childhood fantasy, waltzing and neoclassicism. Each work is examined in terms of its evolution, premiere, critical reception and reinterpretation through to the present; new findings result from primary-source research, undertaken especially in Paris. The final chapter discusses the reasons for Ravel's collaborations and the strengths and weaknesses of his interpersonal relations. Mawer emphasizes the importance of the performative dimension in realizing Ravel's achievement, and proposes that the composer's large-scale oeuvre can, in a sense, be viewed as a balletic undertaking. In so doing, this book adds significantly to current research interest in artistic production and interplay in early twentieth-century Paris.

Book excerpt: "This biography of Maurice Ravel is the result of several years' penetrating research, not only on the influences and meanings of Ravel's particular genius, but on the carefully guarded personal life of the great French musician. It is the only study of the modern French master available in English. Although born in the Basque village of Ciboure near the border of Spain, Ravel was raised in the Montmartre district of Paris and became the epitome of the sophisticated, elegant Parisian. He was a fastidious and sartorially resplendent little man (he was but five feet tall) who, aside from his music, delighted in children, in Parisian night life, and in travels to Spain, Africa, England, and the United States. But Ravel the composer studied and worked and developed as though oblivious of the ferment his 'division of the laws of harmony' caused. A mild man, he nevertheless perpetrated violent reactions and caused three famous affaires Ravel. The first was his unfair exclusion from the Prix de Rome contest. The second, the celebrated newspaper controversy of Ravel and Debussy, is available here in book form for the first time. Ravel's third affaire was his sensational refusal of the Légion d'Honneur. Ravel's undeniable gifts as a musical innovator were inspired by his teachers, Fauré and Satie, and developed during one of the most artistically productive and revolutionary periods of the twentieth century. Compared to many composers, Ravel's musical output was small. He was an extremely careful and painstaking worker, but his working habits did not curb his own inventiveness nor affect his infinite versatility. A list of Ravel's compositions is both distinguished and varied, ranging from small pieces for the piano (Pavane pour une Infante défunte, the three pieces that comprise the Gaspard de la Nuit) to piano concertos (one of the two being the miraculous Concerto for the Left Hand Alone); art songs (in the Spanish, Hebraic, Greek, Russian, Italian, Scottish, and Madagascan manners); music for the theater (Daphnis et Chloë, La Valse, Boléro); orchestrations (Schumann's Carnaval, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition); and chamber music (one trio, one quartet)." --Dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Ravel's operas L'Heure espagnole (1907/1911) and L'Enfant et les sortilèges (1919–25) are pivotal works in the composer's relatively small œuvre. Emerging from periods shaped by very distinct musical concerns and historical circumstances, these two vastly different works nevertheless share qualities that reveal the heart of Ravel's compositional aesthetic. In this comprehensive study, Emily Kilpatrick unites musical, literary, biographical and cultural perspectives to shed new light on Ravel's operas. In documenting the operas' history, setting them within the cultural canvas of their creation and pursuing diverse strands of analytical and thematic exploration, Kilpatrick reveals crucial aspects of the composer's working life: his approach to creative collaboration, his responsiveness to cultural, aesthetic and musical debate, and the centrality of language and literature in his compositional practice. The first study of its kind, this book is an invaluable resource for students, specialists, opera-goers and devotees of French music.

Book excerpt: Maurice Ravel: A Life is the first convincing attempt to paint a portrait of the life and work of the hitherto enigmatic composer of Bolero, Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, and L'enfant Et Les Sortileges. Ivry offers here a convincing solution to the much-discussed "mystery" of Ravel's sexuality. More than simply "outing" Ravel as a gay man for the first time among numerous writers on this composer, this book discusses how his secretive sexuality impacted his work. Using unpublished documents, letters, articles and memoirs, many of which were previously unknown even to Arbie Orenstein, universally considered the world's leading scholar of Ravel studies, Ivry presents a more rounded view of Ravel, man and musician. Descriptions of musical works are in non-technical language, friendly to the reader with no specialized knowledge of classical music. Like Ivry's widely acclaimed biography of Poulenc, universally seen as the standard life of this composer in any language, his new Ravel is likely to become a classic of contemporary musical biography.

Book excerpt: Much of the music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is among the most accessible of any written in the last hundred years; the man, however, was notoriously difficult to get to know. In Maurice Ravel, Gerald Larner aims to trace the development of the composer's personality not only through events in his life and in the society around him but also through his music, which is more revealing in this respect than is generally believed. This beautifully crafted book offers many fresh insights into the life and work of this enigmatic composer.
