Maurice Ravel

Maurice Ravel was a French composer of the early twentieth century, known for orchestral works of shimmering precision and color.

His *Boléro*, with its hypnotic repetition and gradual crescendo, became one of the most recognized pieces in classical music.

Ravel's style blended impressionism with neoclassical clarity, producing works like *Daphnis et Chloé* and *Piano Concerto in G major* that showcase his gift for orchestration.
