R005 Le Tombeau de Couperin - Ravel, M.
£49.99
Music from Ravel's masterful piano suite has been arranged for many different groups since its first publication in 1918, including his own spectacular reworking of 4 of the movements for orchestra in 1919. Here we have all 6 movements of the original suite (including the gentle, meandering Fugue and the fiercely pianistic Toccata) set for advanced flute orchestra. A challenging but hugely rewarding concert piece.
The set includes a set of parts and a full sized A3 score. (Extra parts can be ordered by email.)
