The idea of pursuing a career as a musician came early and was supported by his parents: At the age of 13, Maurice Ravel receives lessons at a private music school and studies immediately afterwards. There is little motivation left when Ravel fails his intermediate exam and has to leave the master class right away.
Nevertheless, one work in particular composed by Ravel, the "Boléro", is one of the best known and most frequently played pieces of music in the world. Ravel not only works on the Boléro with the greatest care and attention to detail, he often takes a long time to complete his works - due to the complexity and accuracy of his works, he is also called the "Swiss watchmaker" among composers.
Regarding his orchestral work "Boléro" - eponymous with the dance genre - Maurice Ravel commented one day: "My masterpiece? The Boléro, of course. It's just a pity that it contains no music at all".
Beginning with the probably best-known, always constant (ostinato) rhythm, the snare drum opens the piece in pianissimo.
It accompanies the two 16-bar melodies (melody A and B) throughout, which are repeated eighteen times - first solo, then by several registers in unison. They occur in the form AA BB until the last two repetitions. In the climax of the climax, A and B follow each other "undoubled". The melodies are varied only in the shaping of the instrumentation - and thus the timbre - resulting in a majestic crescendo until the end of the boléro.

    I've always said that this is one of the hardest symphonies for a drummer to perform. Holding the same rhythm for 15 minutes straight is brutal if you asked me. I think I'd mentally collapse within a few minutes of doing the same 10-15 beats over and over again. This is a job for AIs, not for humans. Mad respect for the drummers that have to perform Bolero and still pull it perfectly!

    Es la pieza más difícil que existe para los trombonistas…se la conoce como “la muerte del trombonista” ya que el trombón,después de esperar bastante tiempo para entrar,comienza a tocar en una nota muy aguda,y con los músculos de los labios fríos es muy difícil hacerlo bien. Se dice que muchos suelen fallar…

    I have seen performances of Bolero where both the orchestra and conductor seem totally bored with this piece that they have probably played more times than they care to remember. Not so here! They managed to bring new life to this old stand-by. You can see the energy between Alondra de la Parra and the orchestra... It is absolutely infectious. This one is definitely a keeper and is going straight to my favorites list.

    Always a favorite. I was a percussionist and drummer. I switched to hand drums a few years ago. Always loved "Bolero" because of the featuring of the drummer straight from the top and then the progression they are given. I still love snare, and could hammer one in an age when you never saw a GIRL in the drum pit. Played it all. Never have performed "Bolero", but will always adore Torvill and Dean for giving it to the world. Thanks, for being there Ravel.

    In Miami, during the sixties and seventies, there was a radio station playing classical music exclusively. Bolero would play every so often. When it did, I'd stop what I was doing and imagine the piece to be the perfect background music for love-making, start to finish. Then, in '84, Torvill and Dean stunned the world with their interpretation for the Olympic ice dancing final skate. It was then I realized dance was also another form of love making. Thanks for the reminder...

    Maurice Ravel was a brilliant, forward-looking composer and one of the greatest orchestrators in the history of music. He composed so many outstanding works, yet the public only ever wants to hear one of them--again and again and again and again and again and again, and then again again.

    This has always been one of my favorite pieces of all time. The way each instrument has their own little part to play and shine, and the incredible talent of that drummer to maintain that rhythm for 15 mins straight is amazing. Alondra always such a good and charismatic conductor, the way she has so much energy is so entertaining to see!!! Amazing WDR Orchestra, this is definitely one of my favorite interpretations of this masterpiece.

    May I add my voice to the praise of the conductor and musicians. But don’t leave out the recording technicians. They too have performed a masterpiece of clarity, balance and immediacy. Over the years there have been probably wonderful performances of Bolero sadly reduced to fair-to-middling recordings, because of inadequate audio equipment (and perhaps non-musical technicians). Happily, times change, I don’t know if this technical crew belongs to WDR, or Kölner Philharmonie, or parttime workers from the docks. But don’t let them get away! They are priceless.
