In the "Nocturnes" for orchestra and women’s chorus, composed between 1897 and 1899, Debussy realized his idea that musical form should arise organically from the material. Utilizing a tripartite structure, he made references to the symphony while simultaneously distancing himself from it by substituting the motivic-thematic elements with a range of nuanced timbres. The movement titles "Nuages" (clouds), "Fêtes" (festivals), and "Sirènes" (sirens), which draw inspiration from nature and culture, hint at the programmatic music that was prevalent during that era. Nevertheless, Debussy was not focused on tone-painting; instead, he emphasized poetic imagination. The arrangement of this impressionistic masterpiece for two pianos, completed by Ravel in 1909, posed a challenge that the young composer navigated with remarkable skill. Alongside Louis Aubert, he also successfully premiered the work on 24 April 1911 at the Salle Gaveau in Paris. We were fortunate to engage Debussy expert Denis Herlin for the first critical edition of the arrangement, with Andreas Groethuysen providing the fingerings.

Ravel held Debussy's famous orchestral work in the highest esteem, going so far as to express in an interview his fervent wish to die to the sounds of this "unique marvel in the whole of music." Since Debussy had already published a two-piano version, Ravel undertook an arrangement for piano four-hands in 1910, which was published that same year by Fromont in Paris and made an impact in its own right. For this Henle Urtext edition, we have recruited Debussy specialist Denis Herlin as editor to evaluate all available sources. The fingerings were provided by Andreas Groethuysen of the renowned Tal & Groethuysen Duo.
