Maurice Ravel
La Valse
「ワルツ王」ヨハン・シュトラウスへの憧れから、ラヴェルは1906年すでにワルツの作曲を計画していました。しかし、その実現は他のプロジェクトや第一次世界大戦の勃発によって阻まれました。1919年にバレエの委嘱を受けると、彼は再びこのアイディアを取り上げました。彼自身の言葉を借りれば「ウィーン・ワルツの神格化の一種」を作曲しました。当初、聴衆はこの「管弦楽のための振付詩」に対しやや控えめな反応を示していましたが、今ではクラシック音楽のトップ・ヒット曲のひとつです。
本作品の制作の歴史は特殊です。というのも、ラヴェルはピアノス向けに2つの版と、オーケストラ・スコアを同時進行で作曲しました。ピアノ向けには独奏用と2台ピアノ用の2つの版があり、どちらも音楽的に独立した作品です。オーケストラ・スコアの予備段階でもなく、後に編曲されたピアノ・スコアでもありません。ラヴェルは両者とも印刷楽譜として出版しました。2つのピアノ版では、作品の構造やアーティキュレーション、輪郭の明瞭さがより際立っています。これはラヴェルのすぐれた腕前を改めて証明しています。この2つのピアノ版を、信頼できるすべての史料に基づいた原典版で出版する十分な理由がここにあります。
作曲家について
Maurice Ravel
Together with Satie and Debussy, Ravel numbers among the innovators who had a falling out with academic education and created their own avant-garde tonal languages – inspired, in Ravel’s case, by Russian and Spanish music, but also by exoticism – without abandoning tonality. This master of orchestration begins with piano works, which he orchestrates; songs with piano and piano compositions exist on an equal footing in orchestral versions.
