This book, commissioned by the Minister of Fine arts of France, André Malraux ,on the occasion of the 200 anniversary of the death of Rameau, has been published by Elkan-Vogel (USA) in 1965. But when this publisher retreated, he gave back the copyright of "Homage to Rameau" to Jean Langlais, who asked Bornemann to publish 3 excerpts of it: "Meditation", "Evocation" and "United Themes" under the title of "Ostinato"; later, in 1989, he asked Combre to publish the n° 2,"Allegretto", but he left beside n°1 and 5.
