Liszt ian bravura ( Jeux d'eau ) or Renaissance calm ( ); there was also the String Quartet, somewhat in the modal style of Debussy's but more ornately instrumented. However, he five times failed to win the Prix de Rome (1900-05) and left the Conservatoire to continue his life as a freelance musician. During the next decade, that of his 30s, he was at his most productive. There was a rivalry with Debussy and some dispute about priority in musical discoveries, but Ravel's taste for sharply defined ideas and closed formal units was entirely his own, as was the grand virtuosity of much of his piano music from this period, notably the cycles Miroirs and Gaspard de la nuit . Many works also show his fascination with things temporally or geographically distant, with moods sufficiently alien to be objectively drawn: these might be historical musical styles, as in the post- Schubert ian Valses nobles et sentimentales , or the imagination of childhood, as in . Or the composer's inspection might be turned on the East ( ) or, as happened repeatedly, on Spain (

He met Erik Satie who also had a considerable influence on his artistic development. He eventually developed a style of his own which the critics often described as cold blooded and artificial. In later years he based some of his finest works on the Oriental scales he had heard at the 1889 Paris Exhibition. Ravel led a quiet life and never held an official post.

30. Lesson Tutor: Classical Composer Biography: Maurice Ravel ravel earned the approval of Stravinsky who once described him as ‘the Swiss Watchmaker of music because of Raval s painstaking attention to detail. http://www.lessontutor.com/bf_ravel.html

You are HERE Classical Composer Biography: Maurice Ravel by Betty Fry January 29, 2002 Amazon Products Maurice Ravel plays Ravel to mind, and of course I am playing it now as I begin to tell you about the man and his music. With its relentless, pulsating rhythm, this bravura piece for orchestra is probably Maurice Ravel's best known work. was choreographed as a ballet by Bronislava Nijinska (the sister of Vaslav Nijinsky) and was first performed at the Paris Opera in 1928. It was an overnight sensation. In the original ballet production set in a Spanish tavern, a gypsy girl begins the dance on a trestle table with slow seductive movements. Gradually other dancers are drawn in so that by the end everyone is taking part. Built on a languid hypnotic rhythm that never lets up, the sinuous melody gradually rises to an impassioned climax as the dancers lose themselves in wild self abandon. Maurice Raval was born in the Basque region of France in 1875. His father, who was Swiss by birth, had won a prize for piano playing in his youth, but had settled on a career as a mechanical career. Which may explain why some of Raval's music seems to be inspired by the delight he too found in clockworks and mechanical toys. And as befitted the son of a Swiss engineer, Ravel's music was never less than exquisitely crafted. In the early 1900's he joined a group of like minded young artists, writers, and musicians who gathered in a Paris studio every Saturday. They were an intellectual gathering who came together to discuss ideas, and collaborate on projects.

Along with Debussy, with whom he had an affinity of style, he led French music away from Wagnerian romanticism. He composed highly original, fluid music within the outlines of classical forms. Ravel excelled at piano composition and orchestration, often scoring his own piano pieces and works by other composers. Among his piano compositions are Jeux d'eau Gaspard de la nuit Valses nobles et sentimentales Le Tombeau de Couperin (1917), and Concerto in D Major, for left hand (1931). His orchestral works include

32. Aphasia In Maurice Ravel How the brain injury of Aphaia affected maurice ravel by neurologist Richard E. Cytowic, MD. http://cytowic.net/Selected_Articles/Ravel/ravel.html

Aphasia in Maurice Ravel Bulletin of the Los Angeles Neurological Societies 41:109–114, 1976 Irwin Brody Award for the History of Neuroscience, Duke University, 1978 ABSTRACT: A selective loss of language resulting from left hemisphere cerebral lesions is familiar to all neurologists but only rarely does such a deficit allow preexisting extraordinary capabilities of the right hemisphere to emerge. A retrospective case history of French composer Maurice Ravel demonstrates such a right–sided cognitive system. At 58, Ravel was struck with aphasia, which quelled any further artistic output. Most strikingly, he was able to think musically but unable to express his ideas in either writing or performance. Hemispheric lateralization for verbal (linguistic) and musical thinking offers an explanation for the dissociation of Ravel’s ability to conceive and to create. What makes Ravel’s history interesting to the public as well as to physicians is not only the tragic toll exacted in this composer’s personal and creative life but also the resultant loss of the output of one of the 20th century’s towering musical geniuses. In 1928 Maurice Ravel accepted a commission from Viennese pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War I. The Concerto For The Left Hand in B Major allowed this disabled artist to overcome a tragic misfortune and resume his occupation as a concert pianist. Unfortunately, nothing enabled Ravel to vitiate his own tragedy and continue work as a composer: in 1933, he was struck with aphasia, which robbed him of language and caused his artistic career to come abruptly to an end.

French Composers Maurice Ravel - the Composer Maurice Ravel was a French composer who studied at the end of the Romantic period, worked through the Impressionist period and into the Modern period. He was born in Paris in 1875, and died in quiet, rural retirement in 1937. He studied music at the Paris Conservatory, where his tutor, and a significant influence on his style, was Faure. His composition was also influenced by the styles of Chabrier and Satie. Ravel showed much promise as a young composer, and was nominated, by Faure, for a number of awards. To the surprise of many of his contemporaries, he was overlooked for these awards and he left the Conservatory bitterly disappointed. During the First World War (1914 - 1918) he was unfit for service, and volunteered to work as an orderly in a military hospital. After the war, his health, which had never been robust, deteriorated. He moved to the village of Tourador, continuing to compose until shortly before his death, though during the last ten years of his life he produced only a few works.

new releases new on epitonic epicenter editor's blog ... community Maurice Ravel New Albion Records Sunset in a small French village. The town is quiet, kissed by the last rays of the setting sun. Behind the cottages, laundry flaps in the gentle evening breeze. Twisting curls of smoke rise from chimneys. In the distance, a church bell tolls. Leaves scuttle across the courtyard, which is empty save for a dying man swinging from the gallows. As the rest of the villagers go about their daily business, he raises his darkening eyes for one final glimpse of the sun, and listens to his death knell. This is the scene French composer Maurice Ravel (1875 - 1937) evokes in "Le Gibet" ("the gallows"), one of three macabre piano pieces that comprise Gaspard de la Nuit, Trois Poemes pour Piano d'apres Aloysius Bertrand Ravel composed this sinister triad after reading the dark, fantastic poetry of Aloysius Bertrand's (the other two pieces are based on the Bertrand poems "Ondine," about a wayward sea nymph, and "Scarbo," about a demonic gnome). Ravel augments the unsettling mood of 'Le Gibet' with repeated use of the B-flat, which suggests the ominous sound of the church bell. This is the music of ghastly dreams, the visions that cloud one's vision after daybreak: a fitting soundtrack for the last moments of a condemned man's life. Ravel's meticulous attention to detail led Stravinsky to call him the "Swiss Watchmaker." For three years, pianist
