We can try to unRavel this music, but our quest will be in vain as is its aim. It swims near us like a lacyshark, elegant, melancholy, a long dreamliner on mirrory waters, betrothed to supple subtle sunfish, playing, praying to the sea, as does Ravel here, it seems to me. Thanks for posting. Rather than say goodbye, i will simply evaporate.

@JimTLonW6 yes he had so many brilliant musical ideas and new orchestral textures. In this piece I especially love the melody 3:01 which reappears various times but the last one, "a tempo (plus vive)" in the score, at 9:23, it reminded me EXACTLY of those lovely little music boxes of my childhood. I wonder if Ravel had those things in mind when he composed this. His music is full of exellent ideas.

Where can I find the whole document written about Ravel's reaction to revolving wheels? I would LOVE to be able to read the whole thing.

@ThatsBrilliant25 What instrument do you play?

:)

I performed this piece in college -- Ravel is my favorite composer in the whole world. I love this recording. :)

Wonderful piece. Did anyone read what's written at 1:13? The last lines are hilarious!

[Didlinouche]

Ravel songs make me remember those wonderful pre raphaelite paintings. So pure and intense.

[Didlinouche]

So wonderfully intense...

@mckavitt That is perhaps the most pretentious thing I have ever read, but I love it!

@Ravel1299 It's also available on the 2 CD Phia Berghout compilation 'Historical Document' (EtCetera KTC 2024 2CD).

@Ravel1299 It's the liner notes to the original album (Decca LX3097) from 1952.

The music is now available on two separate CDs -- Philips Eloquence 4768500 (with Debussy's 'Danses Sacree et Profane') and Decca Eloquence 476 8458 (with Ravel's 'Introduction et Allegro'), but who knows if the original liner notes are still included.
