Description

Ravel, Maurice. (1875-1937)
"Les valses nobles et sentimentales" - Autograph Musical Quotation
An elegant AMQS from the important French composer, penned on his monogrammed stationery. Ravel has written 5 bars from
his third waltz of
Les Valses nobles et sentimentales
, notated on a hand-drawn stave. Addressed to a Madame Catherine Parker in Chicago, with her name and address typewritten above the quotation, and dated
27 January 1924
. 1 page, 4to, personal stationery; separations at folds repaired verso with cello tape, vertical fold touching holograph date with some loss, faint uneven toning. Together with a reproduction portrait photograph.
The piano version of Ravel's
Valses nobles et sentimentales
was published in 1911, and an orchestral version was published in 1912. The title was chosen in hommage to Franz Schubert, who had released collections of waltzes in 1823 entitled
Valses nobles
and
Valses sentimentales
. The piano edition is published with a quotation of Henri de Régnier: "…le plaisir délicieux et toujours nouveau d'une occupation inutile" (the delicious and forever-new pleasure of a useless occupation).
The suite contains an eclectic blend of Impressionist and Modernist music, which is especially evident in the orchestrated version.
