French composer and pianist, was born on March 7, 1875, in Ciboure, France. Ravel is a prominent figure in 20th-century classical music and is renowned for his meticulous craftsmanship and innovative composition approach.
Ravel displayed musical aptitude early on and entered the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 14. His studies there exposed him to a diverse range of musical influences, from the impressionist works of Claude Debussy to the structured elegance of earlier French composers. Ravel’s early compositions already demonstrated a keen sense of color and texture.
One of Ravel’s breakthrough works was his orchestral piece “Pavane pour une infante défunte” (Pavane for a Dead Princess), which he composed in 1899. This composition began his distinctive style, characterized by evocative harmonies and a penchant for drawing inspiration from literature, visual art, and folk music.
Ravel’sreputation as a master orchestrator grew with works like “Rapsodie espagnole” and “Ma Mère l’Oye” (Mother Goose). His compositions often showcased his fascination with exoticism and his ability to create rich, atmospheric soundscapes. “Daphnis et Chloé,” a ballet with a sumptuous orchestral score, exemplifies Ravel’s mastery.
