descripção
Vignettes is a set of 5 short (2 or 3-page) late-intermediate piano pieces that introduce unique aspects of Maurice Ravel's piano writing that students tend to find challenging. Given that Ravel himself wrote very little at the intermediate level for solo piano (except the recently rediscovered Prelude in A minor), I saw a great need for appropriate Ravel-preparatory repertoire.
Pieces #2, 3, and 4 in the set largely correspond to the challenges found in their respective movements of Ravel's Sonatine, and they can be performed similarly as a set. All but the Pavane are 2 pages each and should print double-sided so that they are on facing pages, preventing any needed page turns until the Pavane.
Each piece in Vignettes is also available for individual purchase here on MusicaNeo, and more information on each piece can be seen on each piece's purchase page.
