Found this gem of music history today... first edition of Sonatine by Ravel

From what I gather it's a first edition of Sonatine by Ravel. What a neat find, published the same year it was written. I've attached a link to the publisher.... it's worth the read! So many of the composers we love entrusted their first copies to this gentlemen. Makes learning it that much more enjoyable.

It's indeed cool to think that once upon of time all of this music was fresh off the presses, and at the frontier of the development of music!
