Music Roll Want List - Ravel's "Pavanne"
By Dan Harrett

Since this thread is started, it's a good chance to bring up my
(current) heart's desire roll.  I have been seeking Ravel's "Pavanne
por un infante defunte" without success.  Any format will do since
I only have 88-note pumpers.

Dan Harrett

 [ Ravel wrote his "Pavane for a dead princess" in 1899, when he was
 [ 24 years old.  My 7 kg dictionary of 1927 says:
 [
 [ "Pavan, also pavane: A stately and formal old dance by couples in
 [ ceremonial costume, introduced into England in the 16th century;
 [ also, music for this dance, or with its duple and very slow rhythm."
 [
 [ I searched the Internet for the spelling "Pavanne" with two n's;
 [ it seems used only in the title of Ravel's piano piece, and only
 [ occasionally there.  -- Robbie
