Errors and inconsistencies arising from the comparison with the previous edition were corrected on the basis of the autograph score. Moreover, the handwritten and printed piano versions also provide valuable insights into the works origin.
To this day, the soft opening measures of La Valse still represent a challenge to the interpretation. This problem preoccupied the sound aesthete Ravel up to the end of his life. This is the reason for which Manuel Rosenthal, a conductor and friend of Ravels, decided to retouch the opening measures. This is presented for the first time in the Critical Commentary to the new edition. Rosenthals suggestion allows a more differentiated sound of the double basses at the beginning.
Compared with the previous edition, this new Urtext edition optimizes and reduces the page turns in the orchestral parts. But wherever the page turns are inevitable and awkward, the edition provides a compelling solution by inserting extra pages as well as providing turning aids that allow a glimpse of what is coming on the next page.

"It was with great pleasure that the Alabama Symphony performed the new Breitkopf edition of Ravel's "La Valse" by Jean-Francois Monnard. This edition is a considerable accomplishment and deserves the highest praise. I have no doubt this is the edition that will become the standard for this work." (Charlie Harmon, Alabama Symphony Orchestra)
