Ravel's miswriting
Today, I have read the topic "The Orchestral Saxophone Repertoire" in the book "Saxophone (Paul Harvey)"
The most interesting thing is that I discovered exactly the same explanation about Bolero
as the interview with Marcel Mule, French saxophonist that I watched on Youtube.
This explanation is
"Ravel must have inaccurate information about the soprano saxophone, because he seemed to think it wouldn't go up to top E♭, and started the second solo on sopranino (in F too; very strange for a master of orchestration like Ravel) but the sopranino runs out of range as the solo descends he writes for a soprano taking over just for the bottom of solo"
His miswriting shows that even masters make mistakes, so don't respect too much even grand authors' texts.

今日、以下の本のページ63-69を読みました。

とても興味深いことに
ボレロの説明が全く同じことを発見した
（何と同じか？それは）Youtubeで見たMarcel Muleのインタビュー とだ。
