Although he worked within the traditions of his day, Maurice Ravel forged a distinctive musical language of his own. This collection of 29 specially arranged pieces offers beginners the pleasure and satisfaction of playing the French composer's most popular works.
Simplified arrangements include Musette, Menuet, Rigaudon, and Prélude from Le tombeau de Couperin; Pantomime, Interlude, Danse légère et gracieuse de Daphnis, and Lyceion Dance from Daphnis et Chloé; March, Little Tom Thumb, and Conversation of Beauty and the Beast from Mother Goose Suite; Malagueña and Prélude à la nuit from Rapsodie espagnole; and other selections. All pieces are available as downloadable MP3s (see inside the book for details).
