Actually his string quartet and sonatine for piano preceded Miroirs, got international attention, and are in the classical repertory. Debussy hailed the quartet as a masterpiece. Miroirs was probably his first "impressionist" work. Oiseaux Tristes is my favorite. I don't know a better bird-call in music (there is competition, I know). The clarity and brilliance of his style were evident from the beginning. I read a story somewhere that Ravel was showing his collection of mechanical gew-gaws to a friend, picked up a mechanical bird, turned it on, and said "Can you hear his heart beating?" A mechanical bird with a beating heart: sums his work up pretty well, I think.

Ravel lived (or lived) in a world understood by no one but himself. however we begin to see as we listen, how he composed out of seemongly thin air, a world of intense, and powerful mastery. his music wil live forever!

"La Vallee des Cloches" is the piece that made me fall in love with Ravel 11 years ago. These heavenly pieces never get old, I only love them more each time I hear them. "Noctuelles" evokes images of adorable fuzzy flying moths and green lacewings!!

This masterpiece with splendid skill and specutacular technique is full of Ravel's aesthetics

There are many composers I love (e.g. Bartok, Shubert, Satie, Shostakovich, et al) and I have often wondered who is my absolute favorite... Not an easy decision, but if I had to pick, it would be Ravel. His music is so magnificent, and such a wonderful wide variance in the type of compositions he created. And when I listen to his remarkable "Chansons Madécasses", it confirms in my mind that Ravel's music is absolutely supreme.

Liké a Sky Can be...

Ravel's legacy of astonishing, surprising and totally unique works of musical enchantment have made his continuing popularity with the five generations since his passing a bit unlike any other composer. He excites and bedazzles new listeners and holds seasoned devotees in the thrall of his ability to create palpable visions of color, light and emotionality with sound. I've been captivated by all of his works for over seventy years and cherish every note from this master.

Throughout this piece there is a great display of complex skill, yet he still strikes a soulful note within all the madness. I was waiting for him to cut the fat and just appeal completely to the soul, and around 22:40 he starts to do just that. Amazing

I really don't think there can be anything more expressive, more eloquent than Oiseaux Tristes, especially the beginning. I never imagined what it was like to be a bird, but now I feel my wings flapping slowly as I glide across the ocean. My feathers are ruffled by the wind as I look down on the ship before me. One of my companions darts upward in the air. Despite the wonderful ocean breeze I feel an intense sadness. I glide down and land in the water to watch as the humans man their ship. As I look on, I am overcome with sorrow, for the sea air is no longer ours alone. The humans have come, and they are a blot upon the untamed Blue. I take to the air as one of them tosses a net into the water.

Having listened to Maurice Ravel all my life I am REDISCOVERING Ravel as perhaps the best composer of the last century. Daphnis et Chloe is ample proof of this. Stravinskki and Picasso are the most celebrted, but not necessarily the best in each catagory. I now find Ravel absolutely devine and in a level beyond Debussy with his poly tonalities which everything is beautiful, and not merely experimental as in the case of some others.

The term I have learned is called "Program Music," in which music alone (no lyrics used) depicts non-musical events often in a narrative, such as Schumann's Waldszenen which seems to be depicting going through a forest. It started early, and one example is Vivaldi's landmark Four Seasons Concerto of the Baroque era depicting stuff like birds chirping and waterfalls, but "Absolute music" (music for musics sake; in which it isn't explicitly about anything specific, though there can be emotion and usually is) was far more dominant. When the Romantic Era came around, program music was hugely popular and a defining part of the era. A few common things illustrated in program music of the romantic era were past events (i.e. 1812 Overture), and nature (i.e. Waldszenen).

@ronwalker4849

Representative, pictoral, programatic, especially in the "impressionist" period of Monet etc. Prokofief wrote Peter and the Wolf expressively as a demonstration of this, but there are many programatic pieces too numerous to list here. The terms are not importrant. How you react internally is the only important thing. It was developed in the baroque period. Once you understand the concept you can apply it to most all music except not 12 tone music which avoics all human and natural programatic references. Think of Beethoven´s pastoral symphony nº. 6 and the references to nature. All of Stravinski´s great ballets, etc.

I admit no 1 emulates the flapping of moths' wings, but what is the programme? I think there is not any particular sequence of events which could be described as a programme in this, unlike in Richard Strauss. The music is composed as that - music. The imagination of the listener comes into play after that. You can describe the Ship on the Ocean as the tossing about of the boat on the sea, but not much else...

They are living sound- portraits. They are not reflections of anything. Unlike paint or painting or even mental images frozen in time and space, they are their essence in motion. That means they are… to some degree alive. Each unique and though free of earthly form; they live.

Although I am not acquainted with the other Apaches, I am in a great deal invested with the matters of Ricardo Vines (and his friendship with Maurice), to whom the second piece Oiseaux Tristes was dedicated. To shed a bit of background, Ravel had first played this on the 11th of October, 1904 to the bewilderment of all Apaches aside from Vines who appeared to be the only one to appreciate it (Ravel still seemed to love it nonetheless, performing it several more times since then in private meet-ups and salons). I forgot where I've read this but apparently it was dedicated to Vines jokingly as it was entirely "unpianistic" (Ricardo Vines was a succesful pianist, this was supposed to be ironical) but reading your comment, this perhaps sheds light on the deepness of their friendship and how well Ravel knew his childhood friend as we can see a bit of Vines' morose side in the piece. To himself he thinks such thoughts as, and I quote, "[...] as always when I see young, beautiful women, lights, music, and all this activity, I thought of death, of the ephemeral nature of everything, I imagined balls from past generations who are now nothing but dust, as will all the masks I saw, and in a short while! What horror, Oblivion!" and we can see this inner morbidness and fear uncovered by Ravel and put into notes on paper. or not since it was written before published with the dedications but idk maybe mauricio already had the theme of pieces dedicated to the apaches in mind before writing this which means wow he rlly knows ricardo well also hahahahahaa ha im trash for that good maurice/ricardo friendship im sorry for this long comment

Gian Torrano Jacobs Fedora user, and self proclaimed poet. What an achievement :)

Here is an addendum to my post: What becomes clear to a composer is that there are two invisible forces in Harmony one being Diatoniscism and the other Chromaticism. The first is a force for tonal clarity or keyness or harmonic simplicity. Normally the 2nd force 'chromaticism' (a force for ambiguity expresivity unpredictability) is held at bay or 'contained' by Diatoniscism that's called tonal music theory. However over time chromaticism began winning the war as successive composers found more and more ways to include more and more notes outside the key. What this leaves one with is a kind of 'spectrum' of human affective response to chromatic density. The music you are currently listening to has a very high chromatic density. As the music becomes more chromatic ( in good hands) it becomes more and more expressive untill an upper advanced limit is reached and then the music becomes dreamy or impressionistic. If pursued further it becomes very mysterious a kind of no-mans land of supercharged ambiguity. If pursued further it becomes untethered but still intuitively tonal like the Berg Piano Sonata. Then the break with tonality all together came.

Love it

I absolutely love Une Barque sur l'Ocean :)

In some circumstances, one may be quick to overlook the Impressionist period in music. It falls just at the end of the Romantic, and just before the Modern Era. As Ravel is a definite front runner in this period, how can such musical mastery be overlooked, or categorized generally with compositions by other composers, such as Chopin and Mendelssohn? What lies in the music found here, concerns an entirely different aspect of musical compositions. We can look at another famous Impressionist, Claude Debussy. He himself denies any correlation with Impressionism, and yet, how can he ever be viewed as anything else? His rich harmonies, lingering tones, it becomes impossible to classify his music as classical, at some points he suggested. However, it is possible to include definite classical roots in Debussy's music. Some may go as far to call some of Debussy's pieces exploratory, even experimental, and yet, when listened to, the entirety of his pieces reveal an underlying purpose. Every struck note, from Claire de Lune, to his Cakewalk, and Les Trois Poemes, each note serves a purpose, as difficult as it may seem to find. His music revolves around an idea of motive, and cause. An undeniable intention. Returning to Ravel, he includes many intricate patterns, delicate tones, and harmonic qualities. It is not a skew of notes and pitches, to then come to a conclusion, it remains a story of each note, and how it became. When comparing Debussy to Ravel, one may attempt to call Debussy's music a skew of notes, set upon creating an overwhelming chorus, while really, just as Ravel includes his quick runs and turns, Debussy does as well, in different notation. To recall the first statement, that Impressionist music cannot be classified as Romance, still remains true. As described, the incredible purpose and justification of each run separates this period of music entirely from the rest. Also included, no composer during this period can be considered superior to another, as all held a sense of intention and motive, yet all so individually expressed the hidden architecture under each piece. The period of Impressionism is unlike any else, and must therefore be regarded in every aspect, as true, and genuine, completely solitary, in its own right.

Maybe the Ravel "Jeux D'eaux" is his more "classic" kind of work. Reminds me of the Liszt piece also titled "The Jeux D'eaux at Villa D'este", think. Ravel maybe more difficult to many than Debussy. But both share something that applies to everything in Classical Music : it is capital to be well played. And would say, in Debussy and Ravel, this is even more so. Love this Ravel Miroirs and of course his "Jeux D'eaux", his "Ondine" and the 2nd.mov of his piano concert, a lot too. It is a wonder anycase, how your mind and so ears, keep awakening during years and unovoidingly leading you to like more and more works you before did not like, or not so much. It has happened to me once and again with several pieces and composers, and keep being the same. The secret language of music is a fantastic vogage increasingly broadening, feel. Same applies to interpreters. Before thought than Benedetti's Debussy was the best one, and nowadays prefer Pommier and no doubt, Bavouzet. With Ravel think Tharaud is wonderful, but who knows, with time may come to think Alpers is my kind... One keeps opening his mind through feeding it. In't it so?

this is the least percussive Ravel piano playing ive yet to hear. evocative and imaginative.Oiseaux tristes and Barque were liquid in places,vast panoramas ere evoked.Really wonderful playing .Gorgeous.

tres beau fini pianistique , belle clarté des plans sonores et bel equilibre ds ce recueil qui est souvent joué flou et précipité bravo!

He didn't made the music

Well all poetic purple prose aside. What these pieces represent is the end of an organic process that began with Bach teaching us all how compelling this new fangled tempered tuning system could be with it's huge chromatic potential for the seamless inclusion of notes outside the key! This feat is accomplished through both horizontal e.g. (melodic) and vertical e.g. (harmonic) means. So here are some very late instalments in what had been a composer driven power dive into higher and higher levels of chromatic density i.e. {the history of Western Art Music.} Next came the 20th century crisis in tonality i.e. enter Stravinsky and Schoenberg. But there was an organic evolution due to built in proclivities of our modern tonal system that successive composers merely followed that led to the 20th century crisis in tonality.

If you don’t believe in the sublime...listen to this.

You know what? In the opening seconds of the final of Miroirs, it kind of reminds me of railroad gates going down, and then 2 seconds later, it sounds like the train horn or whistle while the train rolls through the crossing,

Amazing this period of Ravel's creativity which brought him eventually to "Daphnis et Chloe" in 1913. Shortly thereafter comes his incredibly beautiful work "Gaspard de la Nuit" His Opera L|Ovre Espanole was also written during the first decade of the last century.

L’heure Espagnole, you mean? And then his other Opera, « L’Enfant et les Sortilèges » was written toward the end of the decade, along with Le Tombeau de Couperin and La Valse. Such an amazing and productive period for Ravel!

Miroirs y Gaspard de la nuit son mis favoritas de Ravel

Ravel and I share the same birthday. Different years of course. When I learned that, I knew why I loved Jeff Beck's version of "Bolero".

How come you never happened to listen to it before? Did he never listen to Ravel's music? Weren't you curious to find out what kind of music the man you were named after composed? I'm just being curious, I'm not criticizing you.
