It includes over 2000 annotated entries of the scholarly literature on Ravel, including catalogues, facsimilies of autographs, music editions, textual criticism, bibliographies, monographs, articles, and dissertations covering his life and music Maurice Ravel: A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography concerning both the nature of primary sources related to the composer and the scope and significance of the secondary sources which deal with him, his compositions, and his influence as a composer and theorist. Igor Stravinsky's oft-quoted remark about Ravel as a "Swiss watchmaker" surely invokes the composer's paternal background more reliably than alleged aspects of his musical thought. Stephen Zank.
