Dear Reader,
 
An extremely well-connected personality: Maurice Ravel, born 150 years ago, cultivated friendships across all areas of the cultural scene of his time – in Paris, throughout France and far beyond. We have selected Urtext editions of a few of his notable composer friends to present alongside those of Ravel. These editions are featured under the theme “Ravel and friends”.
 
To mark this anniversary, we have created a postcard-sized illustration, depicting Ravel and his friends. Additionally, we have initiated and supported the prominent conductor Joshua Weilerstein in developing a five-part podcast series on Ravel. You can listen to it on his channel “Sticky Notes”.

Is Ravel receiving too much attention? By no means – what a fascinating magician of sound!
 
With very best wishes,

Dr. Norbert Gertsch
Managing Director
 
P.S. Did you know that our Ravel editions for piano are almost all produced in a clear and convenient » large format?
A particularly beautifully notated source
Johann Sebastian Bach
Flute Sonata b minor BWV 1030
Facsimile of the autograph
Yo Tomita (Introduction), Martina Rebmann (Commentary)
Hardcover, 52 pages (XXXII+16+4), Size 24,5 x 40,0 cm
HN 3232
 
Among the priceless treasures of the music department at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin is its collection of Bach autographs. The manuscript of the Flute Sonata in b minor BWV 1030 is a particularly beautiful, calligraphically notated source which G. Henle Publishers have issued in a four-colour printed and sumptuously produced facsimile edition. The very legible manuscript consists of two parts: the score in Bach’s hand and a hand-copied solo part made by a contemporary scribe. Both parts are also presented separately in the facsimile, which means they can even be used for performance purposes.
