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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the previous edition, this new Urtext edition optimizes and reduces the page turns in the orchestral parts.

An older idea that Ravel had as early as 1906 was to compose a work titled \"Wien\" (Vienna) as a tribute to the Waltz King Johann Strauss II. Before any work was completed, World War I intervened, and Ravel composed nothing as he served as an ambulance driver at the front. He returned to the idea when famous impresario and founder of Ballets Russes, Serge Diaghilev, commissioned a new ballet from Ravel in 1919. Upon hearing a piano reduction of the new composition, however, Diaghilev referred to the work as a \"masterpiece,\" but rejected the work as \"not a ballet. It's a portrait of ballet.\" A young Francis Poulenc, who was in the room at the time, reported that, \"Ravel proceeded to give me a lesson in modesty which has lasted me all my life; he picked up his music quite quietly and, without worrying about what we all thought of it, calmly left the room.\" The rejection destroyed Ravel's and Diaghilev's relationship, and when they met one last time, Ravel's refusal to shake hands resulted in Diaghilev challenging the composer to a duel, though the Russian was talked down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its premiere in Paris on December 12, 1920, the work has found a regular home in the orchestra repertoire and was even staged as a ballet in the 1950s. But, despite Ravel's own attempt to put to bed the notion that the work is symbolic, many see a commentary on the post-war Europe after the war; a distorted version of a Viennese waltz that critiques Austro-German militarism and looks back at the world where the waltz dominated as a bygone era, one that the war destroyed. Whether a \"dance of death\" or what Ravel describes as just \"a dancing, whirling, almost hallucinatory ecstasy, an increasingly passionate and exhausting whirlwind of dancers, who are overcome and exhilarated by nothing but 'the waltz,'\" La Valse continues to have a place in the concert hall today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstrumentation: 3(3dPicc).3(3dEH).2+BCl.2+CBsn: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(6): Hp(2): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"E.F.

You know my lively enthusiasm for these marvellous rhythms [... ].\" However the work was still subject to changes until its completion and premiere fourteen years later: Initially intended to be called \"Vienna\", it was given the new name \"La Valse\" after the First World War. Although it might have functioned as a ballet, after the rejection by Serge Diaghilev, impresario of the Paris Ballets Russes, it was ultimately turned into an orchestral piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor his scholarly-critical edition, editor Douglas Woodfull-Harris has drawn on a large number of manuscript and printed sources of all instrumentations and transcriptions of \"La Valse\". of particular importance is orchestral material from the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, which was used for performances conducted by Ravel in 1928.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bärenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":43780782555215,"sku":"BA9043","price":91.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score - Digital Download","offer_id":45298037129295,"sku":"BA9043D","price":91.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violin I","offer_id":43780796285007,"sku":"BA9043-74","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violin II","offer_id":43780796317775,"sku":"BA9043-75","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violin I - Digital Download","offer_id":45298039324751,"sku":"BA9043-74D","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Viola","offer_id":43780796350543,"sku":"BA9043-79","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violin II - Digital Download","offer_id":45298040275023,"sku":"BA9043-75D","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Viola - Digital Download","offer_id":45298041520207,"sku":"BA9043-79D","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cello","offer_id":43780796383311,"sku":"BA9043-82","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cello - Digital Download","offer_id":45298042929231,"sku":"BA9043-82D","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Double Bass","offer_id":43780796416079,"sku":"BA9043-85","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Double Bass - Digital Download","offer_id":45298044272719,"sku":"BA9043-85D","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind Set","offer_id":43780796448847,"sku":"BA9043-65","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind Set - Digital Download","offer_id":45298038276175,"sku":"BA9043-65D","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/7df6466da9d5897b29a7caee23e64b8e.jpg?v=1762376893"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/collections\/ravel-la-valse-poeme-choregraphique-m-72.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
