Maurice Ravel (Ciboure, Labort, 1875 – Paris, 1937) was a French composer and pianist.
He wrote in an attractive musical idiom that was entirely his own, in spite of contemporary comparisons with Debussy, a composer his senior by some twenty years. [1]
Some of his most famous compositions are Bolero, the ballet Daphnes et Chloe, and the orchestral version of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Ravel is often ranked with Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov as among the greatest orchestrators.
