Breitkopf & Härtel plans to publish a new edition of Maurice Ravel’s ballet score Ma Mère l’Oye in late November 2026, according to the sheet music publisher’s product listing.
Edited by Jean-Paul Montagnier, the forthcoming orchestral score brings together the music associated with the complete ballet. The publisher lists the work’s duration as approximately 30 minutes and identifies the new print score as a 128-page softbound edition.
Breitkopf says the edition draws on surviving sources for the orchestral music, including the first edition and autograph of the Cinq pièces enfantines, along with material for the ballet’s additional music. Montagnier also examined orchestral material published after the ballet’s first performances for the connecting passages.
The edition includes a critical report, an evaluation of the sources and Ravel’s two scenarios for the ballet, according to the publisher. The listing describes accompanying text and the critical report in German, English and French.
The publisher also lists a corresponding piano reduction. Its expected late-November timing applies to the forthcoming edition; the product page does not give a specific publication day.
