Le Tombeau de Couperin and Valses Nobles Et Sentimentales in Full Score

by Maurice Ravel

This volume contains a pair of works originally written for piano by French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) and later orchestrated by him. Conceived as homage to eighteenth-century French music, Le Tombeau de Couperin (Couperin's Tomb) is a four-piece suite consisting of "Prelude," "Forlane," "Menuet," and "Rigaudon." Written between 1914 and 1917, it was dedicated to the composer's close friends who died in World War I.
