In 1929, pianist Paul Wittgenstein, a veteran who lost his right arm during the Great War, commissioned Maurice Ravel to compose a concerto tailored for the \u003cstrong\u003eleft hand\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ravel then created a spectacular, dense, and virtuosic work that has become a landmark for both pianists and orchestras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis critical edition highlights the genesis of the concerto thanks to access to documents preserved in the private library of the Wittgenstein estate. The editor, Douglas Woodfull-Harris, relies on little-known sources that allow tracing the musical text's journey and explaining certain choices-or omissions-in previous editions, both in the \u003cstrong\u003eorchestral score\u003c\/strong\u003e and in the \u003cstrong\u003epiano reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the essential contributions, this publication takes into account a handwritten French copy of Ravel's piano reduction, given to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsal work (the autograph being inaccessible). This document is particularly valuable as it reflects Wittgenstein's interpretation and preserves his adjustments, notably in the \u003cstrong\u003efinal cadenza\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result: numerous corrections of notes and details enhance the reliability of the solo part and clarify the orchestral writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for today's musician, this score combines reading comfort (large format) and musicological rigor: contextualized introduction, variants and alternative readings, as well as facsimiles to better understand the materiality of the sources. A reference choice for pianists preparing a performance, conductors, libraries, and all enthusiasts of \u003cstrong\u003eclassical scores\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking solid and well-documented orchestral material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMaurice Ravel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical score (concerto)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eDouglas Woodfull-Harris\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eCritical commentary: English; Introduction: German\/English\/French\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano (left hand) and orchestra\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Barenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359560683795,"sku":"233234","price":61.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/82f38979721e6ec0afa0603db5e2f013a0ce0613_BA7881.jpg?v=1789474386","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/barenreiter-ravel-maurice-concerto-pour-la-main-gauche-score-233234","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
