Prélude, M.65 (Ravel)
Movements
Notes
Joseph Maurice Ravel is often associated with Impressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term. Prélude was commissioned by the Paris Conservatoire, to serve as a sight-reading piece for the 1913 Women’s Piano Competition at the Conservatoire. The piece is in A minor, quite slow and very expressive.
