NOTATIO

You're very welcome, Neera. Placing the rest on the high note clarifies the rhythm, so I think that you are right to do that. Could be the first time the measure has been correctly engraved!

Henle has an urtext that one can look through:

They seem to have made the corrections but kept the eighth rest in the original location.

Thanks so much, Neera. Glad to help. It's an interesting spot. I have several piano works of Ravel in the Peters edition edited by Roger Nichols, but not of the Pavane. The ones I do have have critical commentaries in the back. Some of the other major publishers probably have such urtext editions as...

It looks like the classic case of correcting something and making yet another error in the correction. There are many of these in the literature on the part of the composer and engraver. So the high D should be an eighth note as in the following passage, and so it appears in good editions. I believe...

It was apparently intended to be a normal sextuplet and the high A should fall with the G-D fifth in the left hand. The reprinted version of the first edition has this correction: https://vmirror.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/e/e4/IMSLP06163-Ravel_-_Pavane_pour_une_infante_défunte_(Piano).pdf Note t...

Thank you very much, Neera. I am glad you found it interesting.

Yes, I engraved it exactly as Mozart wrote it!

Another item for that Museum of Music Printing and Engraving that you and FredGUnn will eventually establish in your retirement!

Thanks harpsi. Then it appears that we are in agreement that Mozart's notation is exactly what he intended and should not be second-guessed and modified. In modifying the passage perhaps later editors have been influenced by Beethoven passage work of the following type in which sub-scales are create...

Here is another illustration Mozart's subtle slurring; this time from the first movement of the piano sonata K. 333: K 333.1A.png Interpretation While some editors have made the slurs for A-C conform because the measures have the same rhythm, closer inspection shows that the notes of intense measure...

The following scale passage appears in Mozart’s manuscript copy of last movement of the piano sonata K. 333: K 333 MS.png The first edition attempted to follow Mozart’s notation but had to split the scale passage and slur between the two systems: K 333 1st ed.png The questions facing an editor are A...
