# Maurice Ravel (@maurice-ravel)

Maurice Ravel was a French composer and orchestrator known for precision, color, and stylistic range. The work is associated with finely controlled form, harmonic color, dance rhythms, and exceptional orchestration. Major examples include Daphnis et Chloé, Boléro, La valse, the piano concertos, and works for solo piano. A balanced account also considers his dialogue with French classicism, Spanish idioms, modernism, and the upheaval of World War I.
