Ravel - Prix de Rome Fugues.

[guifre]

Hello!

I have found three 4-part fuges that Ravel composed for the Prix de Rome. They date from 1900-1905.

They are written in four staves, they have no phrasings nor dynamics, the engraving style seems to date from the 1970s, the tiltles are in French and there are no plate numbers.


Daphnis told me that all the scores by Ravel that could be uploaded to the IMSLP had already been submitted, but I would like to make sure they are not PD.


And as Ravel would say,

Merci Beaucoup!

I have these as well--I think I picked them up circulating around on the internet and have no idea of their source. Because of that, I would be hesitant to upload them.

Their antiquity alone does not make them safe for upload - one of Berlioz’s extant Prix de Rome fugues from the 1820s was never published until the New Berlioz Edition (courtesy of IMSLP contributor David Gilbert) got around to it in the 1990s, which would be “unsafe” under Canada’s Editio Princeps rule.

Regards, Philip

All right!

Thank you.
