In Bar 259, Chopin’s strokes through the octave stems (likely indicating a faster version of the previous grace note notation) are not in the edition.

@@TheModicaLiszt I noticed that and have fixed it in the new version of the score, thanks for the reply!

It's not that recent

I heard that the property prices of houses along the railway line decrease for this reason. Perhaps the surrounding residents have already gotten used to it.

Nein

It's actually a manually engraved score from Eulenburg.

Darn good, indeed! I just wish the choral voices were a teensy bit more translucent, like amateurs. The Ambrosian Singers clearly are professionals, and perhaps their engaged singing technique is what's needed to penetrate the louder orchestral moments. Duruflé himself had a fondness for the reduced orchestration he created, listed by a retailer as being for organ and string quintet [2 cello parts?] with harp, 3 trumpets, timpani, and double bass ad libitum.

@@Mezzotenor Duruflé allows for a high degree of variety (from the preface of the score): Il a été prévu l'adjonction possible, en totalité ou en partie et par ordre de priorité, d'une harpe, de 2 ou 3 trompettes et de 2, 3 ou 4 timbales suivant le cas. Certaines pièces pourront se contenter de l'orgue et d'un quatuor à cordes [...] D'autres demanderont au moins 2 premiers violons, 2 seconds, 2 altos 2 violoncelles, 2 contrebasses [...] des cordes plus nombreuses seront même préférables à cause de l'èquilibre sonore, surtout s'il y a adjonction de trompettes et timbales. [...] En général, les nuances du quintette à cordes ont été indiquées pour un nombre minimum de 22 instrumentistes (6-6-4-4-2).

Who asked

@@nainposteur55 For your opinion? No one.

I havent checked, but do u mean the chords/harmonies are wrong? The rhythms seem good from what i can tell

​@@manzoh224811:07 check the piano instead. The piano part part ISNT FUCKING BLOCK CHORDS HERE

​@@manzoh224811:04 i can guarantee those are NOT block chords

@@manzoh2248 11:04 I can guarantee the piano part is NOT block chords

@@KinkyLettuce oh yeah wth that’s weird, maybe different editions feature some different rhythms, or maybe they’re playing something from an ossia or something (tbh i havent really listened to this piece before)

The final winning piece of the 1900 Prix de Rome was Florent Schmitt's _Sémiramis_ , but it was from the final round therefore not a direct competition to Ravel's piece, I think.

Their performance is incredible, but it's too old so the quality isn't good.

Hola carlos, soy una alumna de composición investigando para hacer el TFG. Tengo pensado coger referencias en la música de Chen. No sé si habría alguna forma de contactar contigo por si me pudieras aconsejar con obras o autores parecidos. También sería un placer escuchar tu obra (u obras). Un saludo, espero que estés pasando un fantástico día!!!

Sí claro! En mi canal de KZbin tienes medios para escribirme en privado y lo hablamos. Un saludo!

Glad you noticed! Yes, the Bärenreiter score I use is based on Ravel's manuscript and most recordings and score editions (for example, Henle) are based on the first published edition, which came later. Differences are mostly in the second movement, namely m.23-34 [2] and m.234 [22] where there is an additional beat of anticipation of the A ottava. You can compare it with the edition from IMSLP. Personally I think it's more reasonable to use a score based on the first edition, like Henle's, because such degree of alteration must have been authorized by the composer. I've thought about switching, but it's kind of too late since the video has got many views...
