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), 59, 91.

57–58: “Dividing notes between the hands in order to attain legato fingering may enhance the pianist's musical efforts…. Other measures where an octave melody may be divided between the hands are cited in Example 43. In ‘La Vallée des cloches,’ Ravel gave some indications that the octaves are to be divided; these measures are presented in the example to clarify Ravel's markings.”

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), 60, 92.

60: “Legato fingering is very useful in shaping the melodic phrases of Ravel's music. All the measures in Example 44 use divisi fingering in order that the performer may attain a better legato connection between notes.”
