I am a collegiate piano student, and many established pianists have told me that this is the definative edition of Gaspard de la nuit. I purchased it, and was simply amazed by its quality. There are pages of background information on Ravel, and lots of helpful performance and musical suggestions. There are also a number of errors in previous editions that are pointed out concisely in the score. One of the most helpful additions to the music are the suggestive (and sometimes the only feasible) fingerings that are provided, which can ease the pain of learning this immensely challenging music.

The score is clear and easy to read, and I enjoyed all the frequent little performance notes and comments. With this edition, you're never left wondering about even the smallest of details.

After I got this book, I immediately went to the piano and learned it. The print is very clear and easy to read. And the cover is nice and pleasure while looking at it. I'm very happy with this product. Thanks.
