Maurice Ravel: Tzigane for Violin and Piano – Henle Urtext Edition

Maurice Ravel’s music is renowned for its precision, color, and imaginative approach to instrumental sound. The Tzigane is one of his most electrifying works for violin and piano, written as a dazzling concert rhapsody filled with theatrical flair, demanding technique, and fiery Hungarian-inspired character. Tzigane was inspired by the Hungarian-English violinist Jelly d’Aranyi, to whom Ravel had already promised a virtuoso piece in 1922 following Franz Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies. This showpiece is an excellent choice for advanced violinists looking for Ravel sheet music with virtuosic brilliance, dramatic expression, and strong recital or competition appeal.

This Henle Urtext edition presents Ravel’s Tzigane in a clear, reliable format for serious study and performance. Composed in 1924, the work exists in versions with piano, orchestra, and luthéal, a keyboard device designed to expand the instrument’s range of color. Work progressed slowly and d’Aranyi only received the music four days before the première – but she still gave a brilliant performance. This edition offers violinists and pianists a dependable score for advanced lessons, auditions, competitions, recital programs, and concert preparation.

Edited by Jean-Francois Monnard, this paperbound edition includes piano fingering by Pascal Rogé and violin fingering and bowing by Frank Peter Zimmermann. With both marked and unmarked string parts included, this Henle edition is a valuable choice for violinists, pianists, teachers, and collectors of Ravel sheet music.
