“Rapsodie Espagnole“, by Ravel, is not only an important work in the symphonic repertoire; it also features wonderfully written percussion parts. Sadly, both the score and the particelle are plaged with numerous mistakes and missprints that the first edition has perpetuated in many performances and recordings. Because I played this work last May 24 with the Asturias Symphony Orchestra, I have worked on my own edition of this masterwork, correcting the many mistakes present since it was first published.

My edition includes the timpani and percussion parts (tambourine, snare drum, castanets, cymbals, bass drum, xylophone, triangle and tamtam) and notes where I explain the corrections that I made (based on the score, the parts and the original two-piano version).
