L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, Ravel’s (and Colette’s) children’s opera, quasi the French Peter and the Wolf, is a must-have in the series of orchestral and music theater editions of Maurice Ravel’s works published by Breitkopf & Härtel.
Once again, Ravel expert Jean-François Monnard presents an Urtext edition, which in this case is based on the first printings and all autograph sources. It turns out, however, that even in the revised edition of the original publisher, the composer’s surviving piano vocal reduction deviates surprisingly far from the conductor’s score in some passages and can only be used to a limited extent for rehearsals. In this respect, the new piano vocal reduction in particular corrects many misleading passages.
The score and piano vocal reduction include German and English prose translations of the libretto in the appendix.
