Vlado Perlemuter had the privilege of studying all Ravel’s solo piano music with the reclusive composer himself. The origins of this book lie in a series of programmes broadcast in 1950 by Radio Francaise in which Perlemuter played all Ravel’s compositions for solo piano and discussed them with Helene Joudan-Morange – a distinguished violinist who had been one of Ravel’s closest friends. This is a transcript of their conversations, with numerous musical examples. This edition also deals with the two piano concertos.
