RAVEL M. - BOLERO -

Revisión: Páginas: 0 (PIANO SOLO)
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is often considered, after the death of Debussy in 1918, to be the leading French composer of the 1920 s and 30 s. Earlier in his career, he had caused consternation in the highly conservative pre-war French musical establishment, with his unmistakable and highly original style. His most famous work is his Bolero , which marks the pinnacle of his compositional career. Commissioned as a single-movement orchestral ballet in 1928 by Ida Rubenstein, Ravel himself is said to have commented on it by saying: "I've written only one masterpiece...Unfortunately there's no music in it." Bolero has been re-arranged many times, most notably for Torvill and Dean in their world-record ice skating routine. This arrangement is for solo Piano.
