First appeared in Dorothy Woster Brandwein, "Divisi Fingering in Selected Passages from Ravel's Solo Piano Works" (DMA diss., University of Missouri–Kansas City, 1981), 24, 82.

24: “The redistribution of notes in the measures of Example 3 enables the pianist to maintain identical chordal hand positions which are transferred to each register of the keyboard; the fluid undulation of the arpeggios simulates the rolling waves of an ocean.”
