Maurice Ravel
Piano Concerto in G major
Urtext edition edited by Peter Jost
“A concerto in the truest sense of the word” – this is how Maurice Ravel described his Piano Concerto in G major, a work that combines the spirit of the classical concertos of Mozart and Saint-Saëns with Ravel’s unmistakable musical language. Since its premiere in 1932, it has become one of the most celebrated piano concertos of the twentieth century.
Published jointly by Breitkopf & Härtel and G. Henle Verlag, this Urtext edition is based on all authoritative sources, including manuscripts, first editions and the historic recording by the dedicatee Marguerite Long, made under Ravel’s personal supervision.
Featuring a comprehensive preface, a critical report and numerous editorial refinements, this edition provides both a scholarly reliable text and a practical performing edition. An indispensable Urtext for pianists, conductors and orchestras performing one of the finest piano concertos in the repertoire.
