Bolro-Maurice Ravel-bekhit
Bolro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel (1875--1937). Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian ballerina Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel #39;s most famous musical composition.Before Bolro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chlo, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909--1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mre l #39;Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906--1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more mature works like Le tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite). Bolro epitomises Ravel #39;s preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte Dulcine song cycle were the only compositions that followed Bolro.From:bekhit kaldasViews:4 0ratingsTime:15:27More inMusic
