Added by alastair-lewis, 10 Feb 2014 The musical work "Bolero" was composed by Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Originally the music was composed as a ballet which had been commissioned by the Russian ballerina Ida Rubinstein. The French composer had a passion for taking historical dances and restyling them for modern audiences; examples of these included the 1895 "Menuet" and the 1899 "Pavane". Bolero is inspired by the Spanish dance form of the same name. The composition was a sensational success at its premiere at the Paris Opéra on 22 November 1928. Today it is primarily performed as a one-movement orchestral piece. Sheet central : | Boléro (23 sheet music) | |
