Piano Masterpieces of Maurice Ravel [Paperback] Review

I give this book 5 stars because it is the cheapest way to own the best editions of Ravel's greatest masterpieces for piano.The last reviewer is correct in stating that these are reprints of the original french editions, but those editions remain the best since there currently exists no critical or scholarly editions of ravel's piano works.The Dover edition even corrects some errors that existed in the original editions.The last reiviewer likes Nancy Bricard's editions (and other editions published by Alfred edited by Maurice Hinson) but I think Nancy Bricard got a little too happy when she got access to Ravel's manuscript, and purposefully included obvious errors into the score, including a footnote explaining that it's an error, instead of just correcting it.Alfred can hardly be trusted for scholarly editing, so for now, this edition remains the best buy.
