Not sure if the two scores will be different and actually reflect the recordings, though.

Ravel: Introduction and allegro (arrangement for two pianos)

Giorgia Tomassi and Alessandro Stella

(The presentation when only one piano is playing is not ideal; it's quite easy to get lost!)

I have not followed this closely but it seems somewhat unlikely that the performance fully follows the score as displayed. Mahler made several revisions to the work in its early years, even before it was performed. The original, for instance, has 6 harps and boy vocal soloists. The only recording (Nagano's) which aimed to represent that initial version seems to have been withdrawn from the catalogue. Fortunately, I have it (but it's temporarily mislaid, somewhere around the house).

Simple stuff eh??

One of the things about Carter's music is that, however complex the rhythmic textures, the individual parts never seem to get in each others' way. Though a rather different composer, Harrison Birtwistle's music also manages this.

I'd say that he also has a clear, discernible and fairly consistent harmonic language.
