Boléro de Ravel, played on my instruments.

One of the most known and played piece by Maurice Ravel, French composer of the end of the XIX and beginning of the XX century.


Boléro epitomizes Ravel's preoccupation 
with restyling and reinventing dance movements. 
It was also one of the last pieces he composed 
before illness forced him into retirement.

Wikipédia extract :

While on vacation at St Jean-de-Luz, Ravel went to the piano and played a melody with one finger to his friend Gustave Samazeuilh, saying : 


"Don't you think this theme has an insistent quality? 
I'm going to try and repeat it a number of times without any development, 
gradually increasing the orchestra as best I can." 

It has been suggested that this unusual interest in repetition was caused by the onset of progressive aphasia.

I always had fun playing the first melody, while the second was always a bit to difficult to guess, to play it without thinking.

I hope you will enjoy this shorten version of this piece.
