Joseph-Maurice Ravel (7th March 1875–28th December 1937) was a French composer and pianist.
His piano music, chamber music, and orchestral works have become staples in the repertoire. Ravel’s piano compositions, such as Miroirs and Gaspard de la nuit are virtuosic, and his orchestrations, such as in Daphnis et Chloë and his orchestral arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, are notable for the effective use of tonal color and variety of sound and instrumentation. To the general public he is probably best known for his orchestral work, Boléro, which he considered a trivial work and once described as “a piece for orchestra without music”.
His most amazing piece La Valse can only be described as a demented waltz and is rarely performed live, however it is one of the most awesome pieces of classical music ever written.
Ravel was highly modest about his talent, he described himself as having only a minor talent which he worked hard to utilise, never truly attaining greatness!
