Ravel Sonatine and Pavane pour une infante defunte Henle

The Ravel Sonatine and Pavane pour une infante défunte Henle Urtext Edition presents two of Ravel's most frequently performed piano works in the Henle scholarly standard. The three-movement Sonatine is a deceptively difficult work that demands the utmost delicacy of touch and precise balance between the hands, while the Pavane pour une infante défunte is one of the most evocative and harmonically sophisticated short piano pieces of the early 20th century. Both works are central to the advanced piano repertoire and represent Ravel's impressionist and neo-classical styles respectively.

• Sonatine in three movements — demands delicacy and precise balance
• Pavane pour une infante défunte — most evocative Ravel short piece
